Those look like the rear springs in there!!!

Get us a better shot of the spring please! Also do you have AC and electric windows?

believe me bud.. they are not the rear springs in there.. the rears went in before the front did.. the rears are considerably smaller then these and compared up ok next to the rear ones taken out.

dont have Air Con on my model. can understand asking about air conditioning and the slightly increased weight on the car. but electric windows?

tell yer what. heres a pic of the car before these springs were put in.

been investigating this and its coming to light that maybe the wrong springs were in the boxes. they were a biach to get in anyway. and compared to the pro-kit springs.. there was about 4 extra coils on these new front ones.

Apparently the "Special" in the special equipment listing also includes not just electric windows and AC but electric front seats and automatic transmission. The big ones are obviously AC and Auto tranny.

I have a euro 230E no AC and I put in special equip HR springs and I got a similar look but not as high because HR's are notoriously low anyway.

I think your problem is the lack of AC and the fact that those are standard springs. And maybe the stuff in the back too

hmm you may be right but ive spoken to the shop where i bought them.. they have taken my chassis number and come up with the same part number for the car. and supplied the springs to the chassis number.

on invoice. it states.

124 24V/Diesels

bear in mind that this is a 6 Cylinder Diesel engine anyway. this is right to what they have on their computer. think the thing is now is were the right springs in the boxes? these pictures were taken with nothing in the back. i cant even drive this car the way it is at the moment so it will have to stay like that.

how many coils are on normal stock springs ?
