Subscribed.... Because...190e. I have 3. In NYC. (2) 93' Sportlines. (1) 86' 2.3. Had 5 at one time. Waiting on a 5 speed complete swap from Canada. For 1 Sportline 2.6. Have complete 5 speed swap for the 2.3 from a donor. Have many spare parts. Including OEM rare parts. Looking forward to your content. 😷🤜..... good luck on the channel. P.S. There's a spring compressor for that set up allowing to remove/replace. Without dropping the arms. But. You got it done. 👍
Front springs you need a twin disc type spring remover not the silly ones on this vid ! I can do both my 190 springs in 20 minutes a side ! Boots always leak around the rear window seal and rear lights , sealed mine with black bonding and greased up the rear light seals ! Water tight now ....Clear the water drains hiding in side pockets underneath the side trim covers they make nice fish ponds in the boot !
I was just about to comment how the right tool for the job makes the job so much easier lol. Yeah, Mercedes uses a special kind of spring compressor that unfortunately most automotive stores will not rent out because they don't have them. I bought my spring compressors off of Amazon for like $80. Definitely worth the money
The wheel offset looks waaay out of spec. .. I'm old sckol, w/'94 C124 3.2 Sportline suspension coupe. .. When ditching the OEM 15"x7" ET41 alloys... the alloys from a donor 1999 W210 sedan fit nicely, keeping with the OEM 8 hole aesthetic. .. 16"x7.5 ET41 ... This keep the C124 chassis suspension geometry status quo. .. The 16" alloys w/ Michelin's look the part, plus the Sportline options ever-so-lower stance. .. Great project .. keep at it.
There should be little drain holes on both sides of the boot lid. They are located on the inner skin at the furthest corners as far as I can remember. Usually there is a little flap that covers them for some strange Mercedes reason so they get clogged or just stuck shut. Also if you still find water in your boot it’ll be your sunroof drains which are a common rust causing fault. 👍
You should clean the water plugs from the bottom of the trunk, one is in the middle in the wheel well and other ones are on the sides under those trunk plastics
Amazing video man! Not sure if you'd respond or other car guys but living in Colombia at the moment and looking for a car that's old and reliable... found an amazingly kept 1986 Mercedes-Benz Clase E 2.0 190 E W201... I understand some parts may be expensive but the family at least are telling me that this is a mistake to even look at... would love to hear any experience with older Class E's people have... I'm not a mechanic at all but willing to learn to save costs if that's at all possible.
You end up getting one? I just bought a 190D and I'm very happy with it. If it's been well kept, you will have less to do, but there's always going to be little stuff with older cars. Personally, I prefer older cars. Late 80s to about 2006 is my range. Much older and you get into having bad brakes and poor suspension/steering geometry.
Hey, looking at lowering my 190Dt. How much stiffer is the ride? I am hoping to get about an inch of drop so this might make sense for me. Are these the 1.3/1.25 inch drop springs or the 1" drop springs? I know they have two different flavors.
Hey so you have a bad seal some where around the trunk that’s letting water ether the around Tail light trunks seal or antenna then causes condensation in the deck lid
Cool car! I would check the sun roof drain tubs. Found rotten pipes on mine and was letting water in to the trunk! Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 what engine swap you thinking about?
ill check those out too.. thanks for the idea. engine swap.. leaning towards a 2jz since it can be found with automatic gearbox. was thinking honda K series, but the wife wants to keep it automatic, and finding something to match up will be a little annoying
Hello Chris, how much did you lowered? Like 2.5”? I just order my springs 2.5 lower and I want to make sure that I order the right one Very nice, good job . I have a 1989 190E for two weeks 😂😂 thank you sir
Hey I’ve been referring to this video all day and successfully did the rear suspension to my 1987 300e. I had some issues with removing the front spring bc my spring compressor tool didn’t fit between the coils. What brand or size spring compressor tool did you use and where did you get them from?
the brand, im not sure.. i rented from pep boys. iirc, you could technically take out the bolt from the lower control arm and lower the whole thing down slowly, but definitely more sketchy
we bought a set of h&r trax+ spacer. they have some that convert bore size. the other alternative would be getting the center bore milled to fit the MB hub bore

Check the badges on the trunk, they might need to be resealed.

It could be leaking from the seal around the trunk release push button on the trunk lid
Вот это правильно.У меня такая проблема.Это от кнопка открывания.

What does the family have to do with it? If you really want it, just go ahead. It will be your car, remember?

hey yo ,
got a 190 with air ride , but not low enough atm (i still see my tyres when dropped)
any ideas for shocks that can lower it better ?
thks
SUPERRBB Bro!!
Those rims/tyres would be illegal in the UK as they stick outside of the fender lip.
What size are those wheels? Im trying to jump into 190e game 😁

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TAIL LIGHT SEALS. Water condenses and ends up on the boot lid.

-40mm or -60mm h&r springs?
Love these videos!!!
My executive decision for this evening is to go to sleep. Good night.
What are those wheels/dimensions? Never seen those bbs’s before.

Hello Chris, how much did you lowered? Like 2.5”? I just order my springs 2.5 lower and I want to make sure that I order the right one
Very nice, good job . I have a 1989 190E for two weeks 😂😂 thank you sir

Bro are the Konis fitting with 60/60 springs?
man i wish i had that color combo but nice cr man it can always be lower but you scrape like i do at times hurts my soul tho.
Hello did you know if my springs is adjusted how and where I must to screw the adjustment bolt?
Hi, i got the same on my 190e for me it was the seal of the lock which u can press to open the trunk. (sorry for my english im from germany) :D
Thanks for the info!
Cool channel I have a 1991 190e too
Hi, i like this car, so how much can i buy if you sell it? Please
The water come from trunk badge
Love your car man! I have the same car 😂🖤
Would these work on a 190D?

Вода попадает от уплотнителья открывания багажника.У меня тоже такая проблема, но я немогу найти нового.
Wonder how you fit those BBS avantgarde on your 190e ? Thought these have audi centerbore 57mm compared to Benz 66.6mm
we bought a set of h&r trax+ spacer. they have some that convert bore size. the other alternative would be getting the center bore milled to fit the MB hub bore
I plan on getting one of these as a first car daily driver. Do you guys think that's a good idea or do you recommend against?
id find the lowest milage/well taken care of car that i could, and make sure to stay up on the maintenance
Is the ride smooth with this setup?
its a night and day difference.. love the ride with these
@@chrisdz what do you have for the rear?
1:21 you just gotta drill holes
those rims! what size are they and tire size?
the rims are 17x8 and the tires are 205/40r17
@@chrisdz all the same? Or back is different?
From where did you order the rims?
got them on ebay from someone in japan. my understanding is that they are pretty rare esp in the US.
Why would you waste your time lowering a 190E? Why not get an E280 or E320. Something with a bit of power!
Why would you waste your time commenting on this
@@reymascara2422 And why would you waste your time commenting on my comment, tosser!
