Feeler: Vogtland W124 V8 Springs
That's right, I said Vogtland V8 springs for the W124.
I have about five sets at the moment. I am taking one set for myself for the time being, might take two but there are three available for purchase right now.
My connect was able to get in contacts in Vogtland and he was able to have all the V8 springs Vogtland made for the W124 for me.
Therefore - I will be selling three sets.
Price is going to be roughly $240-250 a set.
Post if interested or have any questions.

1.5" - 2"
The good thing is that these are V8 specific so we don't have to zimmy rid the spring pad or roll around too slammed (which is not a bad thing). I'm sure the characteristics of the springs would be better than putting the basic V6 springs most people are doing with their V8 W124...

Federico, you drive a 6 cyl, right? So I would assume that 1.5-2" drop for the v8 would translate into about a 1.25-1.75" drop or so for a v6.
The concern of course would be your rear springs. They probably aren't as heavy duty, so your drop would be greater in the rear than in the front if you used 8cyl springs on a 6cyl.

Pete my car is a E420 and my local shop gave me the springs
for you guessed it...an E320.
Basically it's low as **** but the ride blows.
and chris let me know how it goes and also
what spring pads you're using. I'm tired of pogo sticking
on the freeways.

Jim,
I'll confirm tomorrow if these sets of spring applicable with 500E's fitted with SLS.
Agreed on the pricing, WAY cheaper than H&R and a much better spring than H&R to be honest.

How are they much better than H&Rs ? 
I have the H&Rs for 500E (w/SLS) and can't compare them to any other spring on the V8 W124. I do know they (H&Rs) are much cheaper than any Brabus, AMG or Lorinser spring for the 500E...but with those other guys you pay partly/mostly for their name.

That's where I had my H&R's installed. They also told me that they were able to get my alignment within spec.
My tires are severly worn on the insides in the rear, my drivers' side front tire is worn unevenly on the outside, and my passenger side front tire is warn unevenly on the inside. Basically, they did a horrible job.
So I'm getting new tires next week, a kmac kit for the rears, and I'm taking it in to a highly recommended place named omni alignments in kirkland. No effing around this time.
Needless to say, I'm not surprised they put the wrong springs on.

I've driven every set up on the W124 and like Vogtlands the best.

slammed S500 coupe and the tires wore evenly down to the wear bars.
Yeah carnutz is kinda so so. Sure they cater to celebrities, CEOs and such
but us regular folk with the usually older cars don't get too much love.
Mr Pham hurry up and let us know the results.

I'm visiting my friends shop Saturday morning to get everything installed. I'll let you guys know how the springs are and etc.
So far, I have one person officially interested and two others pending. That means one set is left for grabs.

I'll vouch for these, I've had the V8 Vogtland springs on my 400E for several months now and am very pleased. They ride well and provide the perfect stance IMHO. You guys can all thank me for these springs, I'm the one who got after Vogtland to start making the V8 springs 
(I was tired of driving around on 300E springs!)
