Tough break (no pun intended). But seriously, before you order new front springs, look at the old ones closely. Check to see if there are any colored markings on them. If there are, make sure the replacements have
identical markings. These colored markings will identify the coil spring variant that your car is equipped with. I'm not sure about 124's, but I've come across this issue on 210's and 202's. The parts ordering information may be a bit confusing. Of course, this applies to coil spings ordered from MB. I'm not sure about the after-market.
