Wheels.

Ok so. I've decided I want to buy Carlsson wheels 19/8.5 front 19/10 rear. Is that a good size for my w124. I'm dropping it 1.5 fron 1.3 rear with H&R. You guys know a store or a website were I could check out. California, Rowland Heights.

What about a coilover damper control? It's hard to find parts that I want for this car. Any recommendation of a site were I could find stuff. Let me know.

Just stick with 18's. They're safer, cheaper, and look better on a lowered w124. Much less work to slap those on opposed to 19's. You could still use your width ideas in the front and rear, but would take some modifications.
