Speedybenz,

Hey, how are you doing? Thanks for the follow-ups, I have a few setbacks on the kit. The ride smoothness is "ok," however, when I put it up on lift today, 1 of the springs is out of place - the top coil actually envelope the 'hold down collar' of the kit. I need to make them THICKER. I think I am going back to the drawing table.

Yes, I removed the upper sleeves/dust cover, otherwise I couldn't install them. I am trying to make this as simple as possible.. I am thinking about making a better kit that goes on the bottom of the springs instead.

Moreover, I wish I still have my digi cam (all i have is web cam )... perhaps you could see what I did wrong. I need to get a new one soon.

The Project is being held up by the 'suspension' and 'vacuum leak.' Nevertheless, things do progress! I will need few 'insights' from those who have rebuilt a c220 motor. After rebuilding, a T3 turbo is in order... although I have no idea how to fit an intercooler in the engine bay - nor do I have any info on the 'adaptive' capability of the ECM. Finally, I am gonna do exterior/interior at the very last.

So many things to do.. so limited time.. .. & $$

NOW.. mr.speedybenz and the those who complaint about Off Camber Angle... Would you be interested in custom 'tubular lower control arms'? I know I can't expect any commitments, but if there is interests, at least I could expect sharing the 'R&D' cost with you
