Lowering Rhino a bit (well, not little when it was on high ground clearance springs)
I wanted to replace the springs on Rhino and have been contemplating what springs do I get. From the VIN of my car, I would have been supplied with high ground clearance springs which will defeat the purpose since I wanted to get rid of the tall spring look. So I was considering between the normal height OEM springs and the H&R spring. After doing some research, I have decided to go with the H&R, and that too after waiting for about 7 months for the stock to be available. I also must share that there are different versions of springs that are made and they may look the same but each has a different model code that fits different configurations. The H&R spring version for W124 E280 (24 valves) is 29569-1 which gives approx. 35mm reduction in drive height, however, as mine if on the high ground clearance springs, my height reduction is more than that, approx 50mm or so. Initial impression, the car lowers nicely and looking sleek, however, under an aggressive high-speed bounce...
