Hi all,

I just wondered if anyone here has removed a coil from a lowering spring on a Mercedes W123?

I'm just wondering how much lower this would make the car, seeing as I'm removing between 300-500kgs from the car, which is cancelling the effect of the lowering springs.

Has anyone cut 2 coils from a lowering spring? How much would that drop it?

Cheers Frank.

Plenty of threads on it here and peachparts.com. 2 coils in front is ~1inch. 1 coil in rear is ~1inch. Start small.
