Hi Guys looking for some feedback please.
Anyone who has lowered their W140, what springs and shocks did you use and how did it affect the ride?

I realize I am messing with one of the best riding cars of all time. Not sure I want to do that, if the ride quality is adversley affected too much by lowering my 95 S320.

Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

i lowerd my 97 s 420 by cutting the springs check out the pics and see as far as ride goes its ok i have no problems just made my car look nice check it out

 

I would advise that you don't cut your springs, worst thing you can do.
I lowered mine with MAE springs relabeled H&R's with Bilstein HD's, you'll notice
a difference in ride quality but nothing dramatic enough for you not to do it.
Ride is almost like stock but with a more aggressive tighter feel, it won't feel like a floating boat as before.

i agree with calie320 that car is hella heavy and you cutting the springs will make the ride worse n possibly damage something on the car....plus ur canber must be horrible, i can tell when a car has the springs cut and when it's a full aftermarket suspension, i'm not bashing anyone, but i'm juss sayin for the safety man these cars are very tempermental when you *uck wit em too much lol

 

well this all might be true but im goin by how my ride feels plus its a temporary thing im having air ride installed in a month or two , will send updates on how it is and feels

 

man post some pics!
