On 12-5-08 you wrote "the tires still slant a wee bit inwards"
Most likely some of the MANY links in the rear suspension are bad [See attachment [provided by another poster], especially 2 links on top.] . A good alignment shop should be able to cure the "slant".

Regarding the ride height, it's most likely the bushing on top of spring is worn rather than the spring.

IMHO, you're over reacting, thinking the springs are worn out.
It's an MB, the springs better last more than 20 years!!! How many times have you heard of cars having worn out springs?

To avoid the influence of custom wheels and tires: What is the center of star to fender lip measure on each of your 4 wheels???
