congratulations
youll get more responses if you write in plain english than "text speak" and slang
i prefer my car stock so i cant chime in with suspension help.
but use the search function plenty and you should do fine

W124
Hi welcome, love the stealthy looking jetta and the blue mk3 i i wish they made deep dish borbet A's wheels in 17 & 18 inch they would look ace on a W124.
I love my Vw's too
my daily
Coil-overs are really expensive the only company i know that made them was KW, they are kinda hard to come by- at least where i'm looking.
Bagging it would messup the ride quality but it would look awesome.
This link is good for suspension stuff https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w124/227248-official-w124-drivers-running-gear-thread.html hope this helps and get some more pic's of your W124 up !

Nice, that's a great car.
Popular springs for w124's are H&R's, Vogtlands, and Eibach's. Just search the web and you'll find some. Bilstein sports are the most commonly recommended shocks. I myself have H&R's and bilstein sports. I'm very happy with the combo, but I haven't tried anything else.
Make sure you get springs specifically designed for the diesel. I believe your car is heavier than the 6cyl gassers.
The euro look... let's see... You can get the euro corner lights for the front, which are a much deeper amber color than the stockies. Other than that, frankly your 124 won't look much different than a euro version.
There are a few body kit choices out there:
AMG Gen 1 (prolly won't look great on your facelifted 124- it's pretty angular)
AMG Gen 2 (will look awesome)
good luck finding any AMG body kits for our cars. They are probably the highest quality kits you'll find since they aren't made of fiberglass.
Other kits are the Wald EX kit and the Wald V4. Both look very nice, but they're fiberglass. They are much less expensive than the AMG kits.
there are other less popular kits out there as well. Google the web and search the forums.

Beautiful 190 man!
How much did you pay for the stubbies? Ive been thinking about it, but never got around to actually putting an order in motion.
