This is exactly how I do it on my W210 car (shock + spring, not struts). I purchased the spring compressor and it can't successfully be used on the rear with the springs I've got.
I don't know how similar the W124 rear suspension design is. Obviously, extreme caution and gradual lowering of the control arm are essential.
