Just in case this subject of rear suspension adjustment comes up - it is worth noting that the original suspension does not have adjustment. You can, however, buy eccentric trailing arm bushings that will give you a bit of adjustment. Fastlane used to sell them. I would not want to sit down and scratch my nuts trying to figure out how it would work though - it would be a right royal pain in the arse to do as the trailing arm mounts are at a 60 degree(?) angle to direction of wheel travel; the height of the sub frame plays a part; those bushings are difficult to reach with the sub frame in position; you'd be playing up down up down with the car...

...I think I'd rather do the worse job on a W123 ever - homokinetic axle re-booting...
