Yasi - you still also burning the other side of the candle with your Merc from this past year or what? Any regrets not getting a 500E? Not in the market yet, but certain AMG SEC 500's out there get my interest every now and again!!!

Sometimes I am regretful on not buying a E500E, as it is definitely a much superior driver's car to the SEC. The SEC I bought is definitely more of a project than I first thought (sounds familiar!), however it is getting better and better the more I work on it and I love the lines...it is a good looking car.
How are your cars?

Just a question. Why not go with a adjustable front sway bar to compliment the coilovers? I never thought much of the OE's application compared to the higher mounted through the body in means of performance. Do coilover's prevent this? Nice job also.

Nice job! Did it solve your front rub? If so, what do you think was the key contributor to the solution? I have the same rub marks on my inner fender and I can't visualize what will fix it. I hear it under hard cornering or very hard straight line braking. I have about the same ride height as you running 235/40/18 up front. Totally stock suspension.

Thanks for sharing.

An adjustable front sway bar is certainly in the works.

Thanks for sharing.

Rub is gone, I am not sure what the big contributor was or just the sum of all the parts from the complete suspension re-work from the rack spacer to changing the geometry slightly in front.
Thanks for the compliments!

Great write up, and the work is beautiful. My 69' 912 needs a similar job. Just curious how the rsr bushings have help up? Thanks.

Rebel Racing bushings have held up fantastic, exceeded expectations.

I used jack stands, they just didn't make it into the picture
