I had to replace the springs. The ones on the coupe were snapped near the top. The engine is the original. When the springs were in the 240D it sat normal. This car sits as though there's no engine in it. I still have to add the hood, transmission, radiator, a/c compressor, alternator & turbo. I know all this weighs, but with me bouncing on the front bumper, it won't hardly budge. It should have dropped al least an inch or two with the engine just sitting in it-right? Doesn't make much sense to me, Thanks, Paul.
