Just sold my w204 and picked up a 1990 190e 2.6 with 83,xxx on it! Plan on modding this thing out with luxury inside and a beast on the outside. One thing wrong so far is the suspension, its completely shot. I've been searching the forums, ebay, google, H&R, etc and can not find lowering springs for the 2.6. And I'm preferably looking at agressive lowering springs for canyon running and track use. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've found the H&R sport cup kit but it doesn't look like those will fit the 2.6. Please any help us wonderful! :thumbsup:

Eibach has lowering springs that work for the 2.6 I do believe. They're an inch and a half drop if I'm not mistaken. Idk how aggressive you want it but that's one of the few sets of lowering springs I know of.

I sold the w204 because it wasn't worth the money I was paying. I started a valet job last month and I was like wow I'm paying this much for that. So I'd rather mod my 190e to my liking and have money to go out ^_^ Since the sport cup kit fits I'll go with those!

Ah makes sense :) So what other mods are you planning on doing?

So far I've done an oil change/filter change. Power Steering change. Seafoam to clean out the junk. Smoked euro tail lights. Ordering some black alcantara suede to cover the headliner, pillars, and replace carpet with it as well. Also ordered some black deerskin leather to wrap the middle plastic with.

My biggest issue right now is the dome light, I was fixing my sun visor and the screw driver hit a metal piece in the headliner(right above the sun visor) that made a spark and now the dome light won't work. I just ordered some nice very white polarg lights and I believe the fuse or something is out :/ Any help will be great!

Also coming by the end of the month are 2 bride bucket seats ;]

Cut your stock springs down from 1" to 1"1/2 by yourself, My neighbor Erik cut his 91-2.6 and claim he likes the ride, look it it's looks good too..If you like to mod your W201 check this out it may help with some ideals : 2phast motorsports.com.
