The same springs are used for all W124's. The lighter/shorter ones are for the 4-cylinder models used in Europe, like the E220 etc. The diesel probably will just use the taller/stiffer ones. You are absolutely correct about the 'point' system, I thought I mentioned that in a previous most, sorry if I didn't. That point system is in the EPC. (The service manual doesn't show the points for Sportline springs, AFAIK, but I haven't checked recently.)
