Title: Mercedes + Hydros Post by: rkh796 on May 23, 2005, 08:26:56 PM hey whats up,
I'm gonna be coming into a lot of money pretty soon and i wanted to pimp out my next car, which is going to be a mercedes. I had my eyes set on an earlier to mid 90's E class or maybe even a '98 S Class. I was definetly thinking of including some hydros on it regardless. When i say i want some hydros i dont mean i want this thing to dance or anything, i just want a little bit of up and down. If any of you have seen the Monte Carlo that Denzel Washington drives in the movie Training Day, thats about what i want in terms of up and down potential. Another point to this is that i dont want to ruin the car, i preferably would like a lot of trunkspace left over. I'm also probably gonna put some 20's or 21's so please tell me if thats gonna be a technical problem. So what i'm pretty much asking is how much a hydraulic system that fits that criteria would cost and what the potential side effects on the car would be. If yall could help me out thatd be awesome. Thanks. Title: Mercedes + Hydros Post by: Hydros on May 25, 2005, 02:08:28 AM Regarding trunk space, go with a high speed, high torgue motor for the front, Two batteries should be enough.
I can't say I seen the movie Training Day yet, but you will jump up pretty good with some nice coils, and maybe hop about 8". That motor makes a unique sound. Regarding the rim sizes, hmm... just a guess here... forget about laying.

Too thin of a tire can result in some bent rims even off an 8 inch Hop. Your best bet for that kind of setup would be airbags.Up and down side to side with minimal space taken up in the trunk.
