W210 Lorinser 5.0

coilovers for w210

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

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...

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

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

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.
