New 1983 380SL

IMG_9385 by ttownthomas, on Flickr

Just bought this 1983. My wifes dad had one just like it when she was a teenager. It will look good in the garage next to my W126.

I have a pretty good handle on everything it needs but I am wondering about the rear suspension. It seems to sit low and is bouncy. It surely needs shocks but do these springs frequently go bad like the W126 rear springs?

W126 '90 300SEL
R107 '83 380SL
