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.

your car won't even be able to move with that setup unless you flare some fenders

get 18 not 19 if ur going to lower it other wise ur tires will rub in the rear when ever u have ppl in the car thats what happen to me. 19's can fit if ur not going to lower it but it looks better slammed

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.
