Hello

I´m planning to buy coilover kit for my -97 w210 Lorinser.

It has carlsson suspension system now shocks and springs.

I´m planning to get coilover suspension system for my merc.

What do you suggest for w210? D2, kw2, etc?

It should have adjustment for hardness and for the height.

thanks

KW is the way to go if you go coilovers, quality is top notch, everyone is pleased with them that i ever heard about

StealthWRX

i love my KW v2s.

Ok, Now I have ordered kwII for my merc.

Let´s see how is it after I get my ride ready

Can you let us know how the ride quality is on the KW's once you get them installed? That's the first time i've seen a coilover on a W210.

Edit: Is this the part number? 210 330 00 18

Also very interested to hear your opinion

tovayryn

sure I tell you how it will be

But it takes time a bit As you can see from the pics the car is still a little bit unfinished

StealthWRX

I can chime in here...

I've had my KWs on for a couple months now.. the ride quality is obviously a bit stiffer than stock. For coilovers though, they are amazingly compliant. Ive driven all sorts of coils (Tein, HKS, Cusco, Bilstein) and these are by far the most comfortable for daily use.

Body roll is very minimal, and height is very adjustable(you can put it on the ground if you wanted to). Handling is flat and predictable. I have pics under the car with them on if anyone is interested.

+1 for KW's

let us know how you like them when you get a chance...

jordanst2

can you please post some pics if you have any?

StealthWRX

sorry for the delay... here are the pics..





and a crappy shot so you can see how low it is

Looks Good! Had it aligned yet? What's your rear camber value?

StealthWRX

yeah it was aligned when they were installed but I can't really remember the values to be honest. I think they are ~-2* in the rear

michakaveli

(-0.2 or -2)?

StealthWRX

-2.0

how do you adjust the ride hight in the car.... looks like the adj rings are high up in the perch.....

James@ACG

Fronts are very simple, when we do the rears, its actually fast to remove the bolt holding the lower suspension arm in, and make your adjustment with no load on the spring and adjuster ring.
