You found a place that revalves? Comforts have one valve vs 2 in the HD. I know of no adjustment kit for the rear. I am 99% sure your coil counts are off in the rear and why would you want to drop the rear further than the front? TD sways in the front and good luck on the rear, custom fab?

I work in poway everyday and I've yet to go into Bilstien and chat. I have bilstiens on my volvos and I'm getting a set for the merc.

Right now I'm running 205/ 50 16 in the front and 245/50 in the rear. 8" rims all around.
I don't know about yours but my car sits ass low so I'd take 2 coils off the front first and see how I like it. I have 3.5" exhaust so I don't want to go too low.

Did you just buy the cd? My friend just sold his 82 300cd last week. Black with 500se rims with the centers painted black

Yes, the Bilstein regional corporate marketing building in Poway will revalve for 65 dollars plus will sell you the bushings for cheap. they did not mention any issue with the revalving. they told me there was no such thing as a w123 sport.

Kmac australia is selling both rear and front camber kits thru an us distributor. about 289 dollars free shipping. cant remember exact.

the nexen 245s are 1/2 inch taller than the front. If i dont cut the rears more then i will have increased rake. sorta like the no rake look. so if i cut the fronts 3 inches to take away the gap, i have to cut 4 inches in the back to eliminate the rake or 3.5 inches to keep the rake the same.

yes bot it in WA and was delivered in Dec. Fixed the leaky hoses and vacuum and now the engine is running perfect. Oil pressure is at 1.25 at idle warm. wonder if that is too low. 3.0 at speed and 3.0 at idle cold.

Car runs perfectly, trying to smart up on suspensions before putting the wheels on and chopping the springs. no aftermarket balanced sway bar set and lots of labor, so forgeting about that for now.

This is because you have worn components. Shocks usually fix the rear sag. I recommend getting everything ship shape before you start cutting. One coil off the rear is a pretty big drop.

Its a good plan. I always do brakes -> suspension -> drive train before the engine. Not much point in having a fast car that cant stop or turn.

I did it a little backwards because I had the head off already. I did a stage 0 though. My bushings are actually all new or newer. I need to upgrade my front brakes soon.

I'm curious a to what this camber kit is. I was going to play with the spare arms I have and see about cutting and turning them for rear camber correction.

I'm actually working across the street from Bilstien right now.

Its a good plan. I always do brakes -> suspension -> drive train before the engine. Not much point in having a fast car that cant stop or turn.

I did the brakes and brake lines first. The car nose dives down when i hit the brakes and there is no left or right movement. straight really straight braking. I dont know if i am stopping quicker than current model cars, so dont know what will happen if everybody around me hits the brakes hard at the same time, but it feels so stable braking. Akebono ceramic pads.

there are no issues with the drive train. I replaced the window regulator, hood springs (the oem isnt as good as the rest of the car), thermostat, and vacuum system going all OEM parts. The cars is issue free concerning the brakes, under the hood, and in the transmission.

I taped a plastic garment bag over the window and now the tape is stuck to the paint job. I bought a mirror that had two folding wing mirrors to see the blind spots, but didnt like it and return it yesterday. I havent even washed it yet, because working on the mechanical stuff first. Some of the tires need air, maybe thats why it rolls. I am dying the bumper rubber. Wondering which 303 to buy? Saw a beautiful orange td in my town driving in the opposite direction and we both almost broke our necks.

I agree this car looks great. You can see the reflection in the dark color and the top color is less reflective. Somebody has an artistic side in a manly industry.

I want to lower my car similar but not sure how to do it.

I think he is using spacers in the rear. Look how the wheels come close to the outside wall and yet the tires are not super wide.

The front tires are tucked meaning that he cut 2 coils.

The rake in the rear is gone, meaning he cut more than two coils in the rear.

If there is no rake, then that means oversteer? Oversteer means you will break loose the rear end right. Then if you add sways then you have more oversteer correct?



if someone can post up that picture image and not the url it would be cool.

Could we not use those that are made to adjust the front camber on the W124 model??? Otherwise the time it takes to make some poly bushings are near to nothing if you know somebody with a lathe. I have a friend who races Alfa Romeo 75's on the weekends, and he makes his own adjustable bushings.

I went to Bilstein in Poway. For the w123 the HD and Comfort shocks are crimped closed so they cannot revalve them.

They did tell me that the shocks have 6.3 and 6.4 inches of travel. So if you lower 3 inches then you can see you are left with 3.3 and 3.4 inches of travel.

So in chopping, you should slow down the compression and use HD shocks which I just bought.

If the w123 shock were not crimped closed, then Bilstein would have reduced the internals of the shock body by 1.5 inches and cut the shock rod only 1.5 inch. 6.4 - 1.5 would leave 4.9 inches of travel. This would have been the optimum configuration.

I do not anticipate a bottoming out with the HDs but will have to wait after I put them on.

Same with the rear camber kit, we shall see.

I went to Bilstein in Poway. For the w123 the HD and Comfort shocks are crimped closed so they cannot revalve them.

No my car white and sitting is in my garage without shocks now and the parts are everywhere. The new bilstein HDs are in a box. You cannot revalve w123 comforts. The wheels are in shipment, paid for and i got a tracking number. the camber kit is at the wheel shop.

The bosch euro lights are in my living room. The oem oil pan protector is in shipment. Looking for a oem skid plate, but i think it will be okay without.

The car is not rolling, so that's not me.

(01-16-2011, 08:46 PM)winmutt U missed the patented part. Still seems like it should be easy enough to make.

Promise you won't blow me in to the feds, and I'd be willing to overlook that. Angel

not to be pushy, but just curious if you ever pursued this? it seems like if someone had the diameters (ID, OD) then you could just have a machine shop cut you a round insert with a offset hole drilled in it?

cars? what cars? WHERE???
