Hi, I recently got an 1993 500E Renntech car, it was storage for a long time, only 38K miles, the rear shocks are bilstein, the car sits way low in the back, this modification was done at Renntech when they do the 6.0 engine work, my question is : should I only change the shocks so the car not sit to low? or should I look something else? thanks in advance. First post here!!

Renntech rear shocks ( bilstein ) question
- Thread starter acha3
- Start date
If the car has standard rear shocks (not SLS hydrolegs), you need different coil springs in the rear to raise it up. OR, you can retrofit all the original SLS parts (highly recommended, but may be difficult/expensive). Can you check what coil springs are in the car now, and/or post photos of the coil springs?
BTW, welcome to the forum! You should start an OWNER thread with some photos of your car.
