(03-11-2018, 12:53 AM)R-3350 the driveshaft is in balance the issue is the new flex discs are heavier than the old ones and not balanced. i thought about going to a flex disc set from a 119 powered car but then realized that i am already making close to the torque of a 119 and with future upgrades will be well past that so i doubt that would reliably take the abuse i give my driveline. especially once i go to a manual the ill have to look at a new driveshaft as well. in the mean time i don't care about some vibration as i have solid engine mounts and trans mount that plus B8 shocks, cut springs from a non sls 560sel, strait pipe, and an 18mm rear swaybar make for a fun ride. i also removed all the sound damping i could and gutted the A/C system. i refuse to own a car with A/C and have removed it on everything i own.
Did the rear swaybar from a 500e fit your car?
The v8 flex discs hold up to om606 power and torque pretty well, so that's not really an issue.
There are half shaft twisting issues to contemplate. Just another reason to use the v8 stuff. I think some of the 126 stuff bolts up to the 123, either 500 or 560. My mechanic had the drivetrain from a v8 in his 123 wagon. He used to tow his ski boat with it.
