I'm sure my parts guy will be able to figure this out, but I am kinda curious....

So I need to order new coil springs for my 98 E300 (both are broken toward bottom). In the EPC, there's a point system. So since mine is a 210.025, I start with 79 points. And then I add points for various options....and I wind up with 88 points which means I buy 2103213004.

But why are points added for stuff like telephone or sound system? How could that possibly affect which spring to choose?
