Matt QuickGUEST
So, we're taking the golden era of Mercedes chassis engineering, where if you give the suspension and the brakes and everything a little bit of tweaking, upgrade it here and there, they drive fantastic.

Matt QuickGUEST
What we're using is kind of the golden era of Mercedes engine engineering, right? The mid-aughts when they really figured it out, but before all of the emissions bullshit came in and choked it and made it super finicky and unreliable.

Matt QuickGUEST
Right, like, that's one of my, one of the things I really enjoy is setting up 190Es, because, right, that's where I started, and I did so much with my first one, and now I've got four of them.

Matt QuickGUEST
But everybody's like, "Oh, I'm gonna put poly bushings on them," but, like, the way they engineer poly bushings now is different from the way they engineered the original bushings, which actually were spherical joints.

Matt QuickGUEST
So if you put a standard poly bushing in the five-link, in the back of, like, a 201 or a 124 or any of that, it won't articulate correctly, and you'll end up snapping the control arms.
