{Why did I do this in the first place? I wanted to look at less of the hood.}
HMMMM, that is one of the reasons I love the Mercedes, that long flat hood. Both the 123 and 126.
Almost all new cars, the hood drops right off, and all you can see is the bottom of the windshield, and then nothing.
The new trucks are like that also, nothing like driving a Peterbilt or Kenworth and having 12 ft of hood out in front.
When we first got the 123 and saw that flat hood out front, I thought, WOW!!!! A real car.
Reminds me of that old song, with some of the words "Big Loooooong Cadillac, Tailor mades upon my back.............etc....

I think it would be hard to make the hood disappear. start lowering the front end too much, and have to think of the oil pan hitting something.
I installed 240D front springs, it did lower it some. I did this because of the 4-spd swap, the automatic being heavier and the 4-spd lighter, the front end came up quite a bit. rides good, just a little soft in the corners. I have a TD sway bar to install to stiffen it up. Iam using the 1 nub pads.
Here is a pic of the nubs on the edge of the pad.
