Do you think I'll need to roll the fenders with those 16x7 wheels if I drop it? They are 205/60/16 ET35 IIRC.
I have a set of 18" AMG Monoblock II's...but I kinda am leaning towards retaining the ride quality as my wagon has 17 Monoblocks and the ride quality difference is quite large between the two cars....so I might just stick with the Lorinsors and maybe get them rechromed as its peeling off + oxidized in the grooves.

I recently bought another W124 but an estate this time, but the car is too high, well i think its suppose to be as high as it is. Can you please tell me how to find out the size of the Spring Pad that is on there and also what size i need to lower it the maximum and would this affect the ride as there would be less rubber to bounce on?
Thanks

Look under the car - at each corner. The spring pad has small markings on the pad - indicating the different pad thickness. Each "Notch" or "bump" represents a corresponding value in mm.

W124 E280 Estate & 230E
The car is def not a 4matic, I will check it out but i really want the wheels sitting level with the arch but dread ruining the ride by putting on different spring like Eibach....

1991 230TE
This is a 1991 230TE, I only picked it up a couple of weeks ago and once I've got the stalling problem sorted I've just got a couple of cosmetic things to fix.
