sold my 88' 260E, considering a 95' E320...
Just sold it yesterday for a good price. Saw the 95' E320 US ver., full options, in an used auto showroom a year ago, and it's still available, maybe because the first offered price was too high, now they cut down almost 10% off. I have not tested it yet, but overall the car is in it's immaculate cond., 1st owned and has service and history records from a MB dealer, it has 60k miles. Beside a pre purchase inspection, what else should I look in to for having this great car? Also if I'll have this car I'm planning to lowered the suspensions and put a 17" AMG mono's or a Lorinser D93 with a staggered size on the rear. What will be the most comfortable set-up of springs and shocks that won't cause any rubbing issues or whatsoever? Thanks so much!

95 e320...sold the rest
As for springs and shocks. I'd go with H&R Springs and Bilstein Sport Shocks. That will give you about 1.25-1.5" of drop. (Depending on your bump pads and whatnot)
You shouldn't have any rubbing issues unless the wheels are too wide or the offset it way wrong for the w124.

I drive a 94e320 and my buddy has a 260e. You will be very pleased when the RPM's hit about 2800 on full throttle (thank you variable valve timing). The car is nice hope it works out for you.
