10-01-2008, 10:28 AM #1Thinking about bagging a 240D. It doesn't look to be difficult the way the car is set up. What does everyone think.

Never heard of after market. You could probably steal one from a second gen W126... Perhaps. Lots of work for little gain if you wear a seatbelt.

I have been looking into bagging my wagon, but haven't done anything to it yet. Seems like it would be fairly straight forward since its all coils. Build some cups and plates for mounting the bags. Put the tank, compressors, and valves in the back under the floor.

No, no. Not in the steering wheel, in the suspension.

Noticing the "for sale" sticker on the window, I would never consider buying a car if I saw a picture of it doing anything like that.

Why? These are not show cars and the angle of the rear tires looks ridiculous when the car sits low. The rear shocks are inside the coils so installing airbags would make a very bouncy ride unless you could retrofit them elsewhere.

10-02-2008, 05:17 PM #5Is there a good lowering spring for the W123. Not to slam it, just to improve the stance.
There should be another thread in this section of the forum about Vogtland springs. As far as I know, these are the only springs that have been available for our cars in recent years. However, they were made in small run and had some issues with the rear springs being too soft/short. Some say they have had good results from cutting coils, but thats not the best way to go.

Well sir, you may be very knowledgeable when it comes to these vehicles, but you sure can have a bad attitude. I wouldnt normally speak out like this against someone I dont personally know, but I'm quite fed up with your consistent degradation of peoples ideas. Not everyone will build there car exactly how you think they should. Chill out man.

Why in gods name would you want to such a thing. H&R makes aftermarkets and there is another group buy of Vogtlands. Contact RudolphGreen @ mshop. I am not overly happy with my vogtlands. They are better, but not perfect. I would def want progressive rate springs if I did it all again. Particularly in the rear, I may still switch to the progressive rate coupe springs.

10-05-2008, 06:39 PM #10Forced is right....I was asking for peoples opinions and input. I can see where he is coming from when he said they are not show cars. I would like to think that it is possible to have possibly the most reliable car on the planet and still turn heads. Is it too much to want a vehicle that serves more than one purpose? So I say lets see if the air bags would work, if nothing else I tried something different......or I could go buy a Honda and join the rice boys......wait, who am I kidding, European cars will always be better. So, why not make it your own.

Im not into low riders and I would not bag something just to drop it to the ground, but in general, in my opinion, air bag suspensions are awesome.
For example, a couple years back, I managed to get my hands on a 1984 Lincoln MKVII with a BMW diesel in it. To pick up this car, I had to drive about 30 miles down a rutted farm road in nebraska.
I had gone to visit before with my 300D, and could barely make 25 miles an hour down this road, it rattled the hell out of me, but on the same road, I was able to cruise at about 65-70 in the full air suspension lincoln. It was almost an incomparable difference in ride quality. That, combined with the fact that I could carry a lot more weight at the same time makes this a really attractive idea.
The biggest problem would be what forced said, relocating the shocks and struts to make room for the bag. That alone might make it not worth it.
Heres a pic of a macpherson strut adapted air bag system I found, (upper left) if you could get larger air bags like this, with a hollow core or sealing system, maybe this is not impossible with super minor modification.
I still think it would be totally worth it even if I had to relocate the shocks.
Id like to bring this debate back to life and chime in as well. Ive also considered bagging my 300D for years because of two reasons, carrying more weight, and improving rough road ride quality.

Essentially, that looks like the hydraulic struts used on our wagons. Those have the "nitrogen spheres" to act as an air bag, but not sure if it really really smooths out the ride since I haven't driven my wagon all that much yet. Will be taking it to New Hampshire in a week or two though (1400 miles one way!

I dont think they have it for the d or td but they do have it for the sd and also if you want they have universal air bag kits
Also here are some lowering springs:

Well imho i think that airbags on a wagon are awesome, in fact my first car is probably gonna be a 1985 300td wagon or sedan and ive done some research on airbags for it. so here is the link:

is the tank and electric pump and all the plumbing really required? can you pump them up with a bike pump or something?
Forgive my ignorance, but are airbags strictly a comfort thing? do they provide any kind of handling benefit? seems like they might be worthwhile just for the easy ride height adjustment.
is the tank and electric pump and all the plumbing really required? can you pump them up with a bike pump or something?
You could simply plumb the bags to air up/down through a shrader valve. Most good systems incorporate this feature as an emergency backup should the pump fail.
Basic systems usually have independent F/R control with:
-one pump
-one tank
-2 supply solenoid type valve (F&R)
-2 dump solenoid type valves (F&R)

From what I have read, airbags have an inverse spring rate. The more you pump them up the stiffer they get. Not exactly what you would want for a performance suspension.
