Hi im a new owner of a 1995 e320 or w210 i understand..i was just wondering what the deal with fittin adjustable suspension when the shock and springs are seperate? has me puzzled...could someone post a picture of what they look like installed.

Also i have been reading up on my car..and it seems that it should be a 96 model..not a 95? apparently the w210 body was not used until 96?

Brodie320

Anyone?

there really isn't any 'coil over' designs available. very rare and frequently you
see advertisements professional the coil over or piggyback design only to learn
from the vendor that they don't have it available for the 210 models when you
place the order. you're informed that they only offer separate components,
shocks and springs.

if you use the SEARCH feature on this forum, you'll find a few rare post from
folks who say they spotted coilovers, but very few people can post that they
installed this onto the 210 which is designed to function via separate perches.

I see..yeah i done a search on them but nobody seems to have pictures of the suspension setup in the car...thanks for the help.

Congratulations on the purchase of your w210 your gonna love it... http://ksportusa.com/products/coilovers/kontrol-pro/ is the site for the coil overs. My shop recommend them cuz of 36 setting damper will still let you get the Smooth ride and it has built in camber kit! So you don't have to buy a separate kit. They are pricey but worth it cuz you wanna lower it right the first time. This is the thread that convinced me https://mbworld.org/forums/w210-amg/357523-k-sport-coilovers-installed-pics.html hope this helps, good luck.

Ok thanks...have you come across any pictures of the actual unit when it is installed though. That seems to be a one peice unit where as the original suspension is a floating spring with the shock sitting next to it...thats what im trying to figure out.

Once i install I'll post pics... I'll also see if shop lets me take a couple pics of install also

Brodie320

Ok then, sounds good! This forum seems very dead, or is it just me?..Also lupey. Have you tried any of the aftermarket headlight, spot light or tail light options?

LuPayE430

I go on Benzworld.org if i can't find what i need here but typically it's all here... I have these on my car now http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=26966708628 i like them but i got stock halogens so they are they only non stock lights but i plan on ordering these http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=45680775751 so once those come it should better

Brodie320

Ok i see..oh. i dont have those lights on my bumper..yeah those headlights are cool, the standard lights are so dull and boring..make the car look old. i was just wondering are all w210 320 parts interchangable, because these lights look like a slightly different shape to my 95 model..might just be me though

illest

headlights from 95-99 should be the same size unless you have hid

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=96558556943 these ones will fit yours they are different you have pre facelift model... Same price tho

I was actually looking to install depo projectors as well, because with the stock reflectors these cars look really old. lol

one way to update the look is to buy a set of facelift tail lights

Brodie320

Ok then..it's all very confusing for me because when i search for 95 model parts it just comes up with 300e parts and such..it's only when i search for 96 parts that i find parts that actually look like they would fit my car..Also what is the deal with this Depo stuff..are all the others **** quality? Sorry for being a noob..im new to this mercedes stuff. Not alot of people willing to put money into their cars own them in new zealand..i usually deal with skylines lol. Hence the reason i put deep dish tsw's on mine.

siopaolover

don't worry about it man! we're here to help

I believe yours is a 96 because that's the first year of the w210. and a lot of people actually say that the depo projectors are crap, so they end up doing a retrofit. and I like the look of the tsw's on your car! just lower it and it'll be good

raymond g-

i did the Depo upgrade though I used a bixenon projector inside from an E55.
changed the side mirror covers to include turn signals. lowered using Eibach
springs 1.25"

Brodie320

Maybe thats the first year they imported them to the u.s?..because i still see alot of 95 e320 w210 floating around on out local trading site..haha i've never really looked into it this much though..yeah the tsw do look good, it was a good choice for this car..they are brand new and a new model of wheel also...pissed me off the other day when i saw a bmw rolling on the same wheels though haha...yeah i was planning on lowering it around 60mm..just have to save up some money then do it all at once..what is a retrofit?...lol i dont really get your guys american slang...am i the first foreign person on this forum or what.

Brodie320

Still rides very high though..also are they hub caps in the second pic?

Brodie320

head lights and foggys look pretty sweet though.. i looked for lights on ebay..noone
seems to send to nz sad guys haha...your paint work is pretty tidy eh

raymond g-

there is only a 1 finger gap above the tires. the 2nd photo was from an unlowered suspension

my cousin is visiting NZ in a couple of months. i should talk her into bringing a pair of Depo headlights for you. (she won't, of course)
