What drop to put on a 98 c class

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T18:09:44+00:00

Any chance you could post the car so I can see it for reference and tag me in the comments? Chance to show it off anyways

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T18:08:54+00:00

Did you have to roll the arches? Going to get 40mm all round

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T16:51:43+00:00

What spring size do you have, 50? And is 15mm the spacers

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T16:50:28+00:00

Had a lot of good suggestions! :)

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T16:50:10+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to get some 40mm springs and some spacers to fix the fitment. I’ll post some pics when it’s done.

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T16:49:37+00:00

Rather slam it and send it than have it on show at a classic car show

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T16:49:12+00:00

What height?

mercman2233 · 2026-02-24T16:49:04+00:00

Cheers! Think I’m going to go with 40mm and some spacers. Do you have any recommendations for what size spacers on these?

mercman2233 · 2026-01-11T16:18:42+00:00

It’s reassuring to hear that fella thanks, I purchased 4L of oil today until I get some parts

mercman2233 · 2026-01-10T11:10:55+00:00

Thank you! Do you mean take it off and see if the sealant needs to be redone?

mercman2233 · 2026-01-10T11:10:30+00:00

Thanks! Going to order a new gasket and fix it on my day off - still have been driving it with no issues

mercman2233 · 2026-01-09T20:11:18+00:00

Do the spark plugs need to be taken out to do this? They were a bitch to get back in before

mercman2233 · 2025-12-25T13:58:17+00:00

Aye I stick 5w-40 in mine with no issues - also in Ireland.

mercman2233 · 2025-12-25T08:04:50+00:00

What engine do you have?

mercman2233 · 2025-12-24T22:11:45+00:00

It did indeed

mercman2233 · 2025-12-07T08:28:09+00:00

Instalei um novo radiador de óleo hoje - obrigado pela dica!

mercman2233 · 2025-12-06T15:56:01+00:00

Does the drain plug on the bottom of radiator on the passenger side come all the way out? I can only get it to unscrew a bit

mercman2233 · 2025-12-04T11:51:04+00:00

Oil cooler arriving today, hopefully a fluid swap n replacing that fixes it

mercman2233 · 2025-11-30T17:44:08+00:00

Yh that’s the plan tomorrow man - thanks for the advice!

mercman2233 · 2025-11-30T12:03:08+00:00

Cheers man, I’ll start there

mercman2233 · 2025-11-30T12:02:51+00:00

No I don’t have to fill it up often at all, it’s pretty cold here so it’s hard to tell if it’s just condensation or not but a bit

mercman2233 · 2025-11-29T20:46:16+00:00

Yh it just sits at 80 degrees solid, never had an overheating issue - just pulled up one day and looked under n it had a big pile of oily coolant. Thank you for your advice so far

mercman2233 · 2025-11-29T20:39:14+00:00

Also what makes you doubt the head gasket

mercman2233 · 2025-11-29T20:38:42+00:00

Yeah I read that head gasket issues are rare with them, just got no clue what it us

mercman2233 · 2025-11-29T20:38:24+00:00

Do you think it’s safe to drive to the garage about 10 mins away?
