I thought about going with those SL wheels too in silver not chrome.
Ended up getting the C350 sport wheels cuz I found a super good deal on them.
Still think they look killer tho.

I guess Ill be rocking the wheels in the first picture since everyone I asked told me to use them... the other ones are just taking up space so i have people that want them... Im going with h&r springs. I made sure I was getting the right ones.. our fellow w124 buddy on the other thread seemed to have problems with not lowering it enough... so well see tonite Im finishing the frots.

How much
of a drop?
Remember 2 inches is about -2.2 neg and 3 inches is almost -4 degrees.You are looking at about -.5 camber on the rear as a good setting so how are you going to adjust the alingnment to get to the proper set up so you don't eat up those back tires every 10k miles?rear camber kit for the w124?
looks great btw

yeah i used the stock pads Ill see if thats good for now.. if not Ill just take them of to be lower. As for how much of a drop that was I really didnt measure wut the height was before and after. I got H&R springs with the 1.3 front and 1.3 rear lowering but it sure went more that that.

Love the way it looks man. Those wheels are so great for the 124.
I personally would have switched the sides tho so they spin the opposite way. that way they could possibly pull air in and fan the breaks. It wouldnt really make much difference but its personal preference in looks too.
Where are you located buddy?
