I think Shauny& Dawny had some fitted. But not seen him on the forum for a while. Try dropping him a PM?

koni heavy track and orc coils work great together..if you are fitting taller springs the koni ht raids are longer to work with the taller springs. my koni ht on my cabrio are still like new 7 years along the line...

If I was going for an 80mm lift think I would opt for a 40mm spring and 40mm body lift
i'd go with howard on this one adrian...

Hi Adrian,
Where did you order your suspension from?
I would like to replace mine on my W460 300GD
Cheers Chris
Just a word of warning on the body lift option. I did it and it is a real pain to do: a lot of work, but once, done I am very pleased with it as my CofG is lower - like Howard said, I wouldn't want to try an 80mm spring lift as the car might feel a little tippy off road (unless you're increasing the track a lot, which I haven't do so don't know what it would be like).
Very interesting
'....much better than STD ...'
what did you have previously as 'standard' ?
is your review in comparison to the Sachs, as on 460 and early 463 or gas-pressure Bilstein, as on post 1999 ?
In my 463 I have tried Koni and Bilstein, but have gone back to Sachs.
Agree that Goodrich brake hoses are totally worth the money.
Interested that your braided pipes came as part of your lift kit. I spec'd braided pipes a while back when I was getting lots of other work done, they had to be made up as MB apparently no longer stock them.
What a difference (along with other brake works) they made. My G can now stop!!
ian the brake pipes were part of a ORC kit not MB they have to be longer
for the extra wheel travel cos of the 40mm lift
Sorry, I understood that. I was making the point (not very clearly) that whilst an aftermarket supplier supplies them as standard, MB appears to see no need to stock them for G's. At least not for '91 300GES's. Surprising really as I would have thought there'd be reasonable demand for them. Mine had to be made up by an outfit in Scotland.
You can buy a set of Goodrich hoses for the G for around £70, either to standard lengths or as you specify. They are a PTFE inner with stainless steel braid and stainless steel fittings
Hi Arnie,
Am interested in these hoses. Can't find Goodrich, but did find Goodridge. Are these what you meant?
Ph
after looking about have found a cheep option
the lift is from new springs
but i am thinking 80mm is a bit to much
what do you think guys
40mm 480 pounds
80mm 588 pounds
thanks adrian
