been working on it, the rear end matches up to almost any w126 without the self level and the front is very very close to any w126 as well. For the front you need a set of custom springs of course but I found a place that makes front springs for under 200. I still need to look into shocks but the bilstein sports for the rear of a w126 match up and the front ones may need to be the bilsteins HD made for w116s and have a shop cut them to lenght. I have also tried to find a set of custom original set in an warehouse somewhere. I asked my parts guy who works for precision automotive in toronto and he found a set in a warehouse in California but then I gave up on the idea. He said that they were carlsson springs and shocks for like 300 bucks so you may wanna get in touch with that guy.
