300sd w126 front spring pads for the USA
 
Hello,

I am attempting to lower the front end slightly on my 300sd. I checked the rubber spring pads and it appears to be the one[1] tick mark. Its hard to really see the pad on my car? Which I think it implys 8MM pad, the lowest.

Does anybody know if they came to the USA that way. Is that what everybody else has on the Diesels

I think you're right, 8mm. Don't know what mine are.

Due to the dynamics of the 4 wheel independent suspension on this car.
If the rear is squatting down = the frontend will be jacked up.

It would be worth double checking that mark.

My SD ('84) had the three tick pads (18mm) and changing to the 8mm pads made a significant difference to the attitude. It's now perfectly level with about 1/2 tank of fuel.

Just about every other SD is dragging ass..........unless the rear suspension has had attention.
