He made a very valid point that the springs after 19 years might be either broken or just sagging under the weight after all these years. I've heard these springs are made to last a lifetime, can anyone confirm this?

As I understand it from the manual cd's, I will have to remove the springs to get the shim pad in there anyway so I may as well replace the springs. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Has anyone replaced the springs and noticed a difference in ride height in the front end?

Again, many thanks to everyone, if it was not for this site I might have given up on my dream car a while ago!

This is my favorite place on the web because of the good people, good MB talk and lots of real world experience. I too have a W124 300TDt and I never would have bought one if it wasn't for the people on this site.

You also have 3 of the foremost W124 and OM603 afficienados/experts posting to this thread. Sixto where are you?
