New Springs New Bilstiens for the M120 107

I just replaced the springs on my M120 powered 560SL with springs from a 450SLC. The longer 450SLC springs brought the ride height back to stock. The springs from the heavier iron block have perfectly offset the extra weight of the M120. I also put in a set of new Bilistiens. What a difference.

Do you have pics of the car so we can see how she sits?

Visually you never really noticed the car to be any lower with the M120 engine, but it was about 1" lower than my stock 88 560SL. Now they are both the same ride height within a mm. You can feel the difference in height when you get into the car. So I dont have pictures but if you look up my profile you will see pictures of the car before I put the M120 in it. That's how it sits now.
