If it really bothers you after a month or two, you can reduce the thickness of the rubber spacers above the spring. I believe the W123 had three different thicknesses available.

I considered that but 19mm- 5 mm= 14 mm;
there are 10 mm in one centimeter; so that gives me 1.4 cm
there are 2.54 centemeters in one inch; 1.4/2.54 = approximately 5/8 "
Also the new springs looked exactly the same height as the old springs, so I guess I will use the GRAVITY technique. I'm not repeating that job again! The second time, I couldnt get the spring seated correctly and I had to redo it 2 or three times to get it to sit in the spring cavity perfectly....There was no way I was using a pneumatic wrench out of respect for your tool so I had must have cranked that rachet some 1000 strokes...Finally on one side I got the spring out, but I couldnt get it out from underneath the car! It took me 1 hour to remove the rear brake hub...what a job!!
