300-24 Springs

[jbrasile]

Dear all,

I am located in São paulo Brazil and have just purchased a 91 300E-24. I am finding the suspension a bit harder than other 300E's and CE's I have driven.

Question: Does anyone know if 300E-24's came from the factory with "red" marked springs? I realize these are the heavy duty ones however on the options list, the car was NOT ordered with code 482 (heavy duty suspension).

The part number for the front springs according to the EPC is 124 321 22 04 which I checked with a local dealer in Los Angeles and they are "blue"coded.

My car has "red" coded springs all around with comfort Bilsteins in the front and HD in the back. If the car came with HD springs from the factory because it is a 24V, then I should replace the front shocks with HD and live with the harder suspension, BUT if at some point someone replaced the springs, then I would like to return it to original specs with blue springs and comfort Bilsteins all around.

Can anyone help please.

Tks a lot,

Joe
