My information was listed, but probably an administrator took it down. It said have a 300CD with only 14K miles, invented a seat cover for side air bags, and drove off road back in the day. |

Suspension springs interchangeability This lists information for standard springs that have different lengths. Otherwise there's this current thread that might be of interest WTB: Performance springs for W123 Not the answer you're looking for => but a little to the left.

Army, 240Benz, Charmalu
Thanks for the links and pics. I am cutting my springs 2 coils in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Kmac accentric bushings rear, new Bilstein HDs and OEM Oil Pan Protector installed. Been working on this project a long while. Did a paint correction (took the old outer layer of paint off, to expose the brighter paint, and redyed the black trim and removed the badging to make it easier to polish. Also had to buy one nub donuts and fix a window element. So got distracted. Got to put the wheels and tires on and the outside will be done. oh yeah have to put the badges on. |

Pictures please! It sounds interesting... are you setting up your suspension yourself or is someone else doing that? (I'm interested in self alignment methods you see => How I adjusted the toe in / out, camber and caster on my W123 300D)

ditto on the pics. I eventually want to make mine an AMG replica, I even plane to make an AMG OM617 valve cover
on the springs, there may still be some lowering spring sets floating around out there. I bought a set a few years ago for my coupe and lowered it 2"

wanted to go lower than 54 mm or 2 inches. Enough to eliminate the wheel gaps. only custom springs can do that. i think the mb springs are high quality and if cut, still are high quality. Will have to see after project is done. Will post pictures when the exterior project is done. |
