Can the Sportline suspension mods be done to a '88 300TE w/load-leveling?

The springs(all) & the front struts can be installed w/o any problem. The rear suspension can be adjusted so that the rear won't hold itself up all of the time, as with lower stiffer springs the car will sit lower. On autocross(solo 2) a wagon will handle as well as the sedan.

Sounds great! Having a 500E in the other garage has made the 300TE feel a bit like a boat, so I'm looking to nail the handling down a bit. Now, the 300TE has (at least) a different sway bar bushing set than the sedan...what else? Does the SportLine option call for a different sway bar in front, and would this be an issue? How about the rear...I understand that you can somehow dial down the load-leveling to accept a different height; do the rest of the parts stay stock ('cuz there's NO WAY I'm gonna ante up for new rear shocks at approx. $400 per!)?

Thanks for your help...by the way, do you have a listing of the W124 Sportline parts??
