Yes,,, H&R (( if i remember correctly -20 mm )) ~~ 0.8"
No spacers at rear ,,, but 30 mm front ~~~ 1.2"
As said before ,, the car is delimeted,, and i recommend that if you use a higher gearing that i had for AUTOBAHN-cruising ,,,2.65 from 400E (( 2.82 oem ))
with that gearing and wearing 18" ,, i had once a blast with a 996 between Hamburg and Flensburg,, from 100 km to 280+ i was quicker,, not much but i was ahead by 4-5 carlength in the end
I also removed the cat. and for a bonus you get a more MUSCLE sound (( and this is what the car really is IMO ,, modern muscle-car from the 90 ))
Thank you for kind words,,
Yes i was very pleased with this car and the presence it gave was so great that i was very often stopped and asked like ::
what kind of Mercedes is this ?? is it a E serie ,, really ??
Many said ,, it looks like my fathers E series,,, but,, there is somthing that i can not explain that is different..
As we all know this is a 1/2 PORSCHE ,,,,, the engine is a oem 928 design ,, but M-B engineers changed from CAMBELT timing ,,to chain and some other minor changes
Here in Iceland there are +/- 10 500E500 and one E60
