Yes, it's a 380SL US model. And yes again to the subframe AND springs were from a 79 450SL. It was snapped at the left control arm mounting. How do I get the front end down? Replace the springs with 380SL model types? Wouldn't new springs now sit the car as high in the front as it is now? The mechanic wasn't comfortable using the springs off the original subframe as quite a bit was rather bent due to the control arm break. Thanks for all the advice once again.
