Dave- congrats on you journey of wagon-mania!

500E springs front & rear will fit fine. I also recommend the 500E front struts, and 500E front & rear sway bar as previously recommended.

IMHO, that setup with the weight of the M117 engine, and your possibility of 17-inch wheels, will keep a "firm" Mercedes ride.

SportLine setup up front might be too harsh for everyday driving with 17-inch wheels.

Find out what type of lights you have in the spoiler. If they are "fogs" then go with 500E headlights. If they are "driving lights" then go with regular Euro W124 headlights (I have a set for sale- email me offline). New headlight lenses can be installed if you ever go to the later-bodystyle W124 hood (94-95).

I'd install a 16-inch SPAL puller fan instead of the v-belt driven fan. I doubt you need a tranny oil cooler. An engine oil-cooler might be your better bet, but get one with a built-in fan as well.

Find a set of 500E or W124 SportLine seats in black, forget the Recaros. Otherwise, rebuild your seats.

Your car should not interfere with 205/55R16 tires (I had this tire size on 16x8 ET34 wheels with SportLine suspension). In short- rebuild the front-end.

Hope this helps and good luck with such a rare car.
