I might be interested in them if you still have them. Also who sells custom springs for this car. I will be looking for some for my 560SL.

John I purchased the "stock" springs from German Star. Part# 1143210604 @78.00 each for fronts, Part#1153242204 @69.00 each for rears. I've found "lowering springs a Johnson performance @323.00 full set @ 443-557-0086, but have not contacted them yet. I 'm going to look into "London380sl's" quote/link-looks like the ticket for me. Thanks to all and thanks to London380sl....I knew I saw that website before, but could not find any links the last couple of days. Later Dave
