I did know this...ahem...gentleman for a few months. He did ride in my car once or twice. At that time the front was at it's lowest (as noted I raised it back up a bit), and with his "excessive girth" in the passenger seat and a fairly spirited turn there was a hint of rub. That along with the fairly substandard spring rate (also mentioned) I decided to go for a less extreme drop.

I will also state that he is the type of guy that will spout off random facts (or proclaimed to be) with little instigation. Borderline Rain Man if you can imagine. I believe his actions on this forum have indicated a far worse condition than I have pro-claimed here, so I'll leave it at that...

Anyway, the W123 is long sold to a very nice man in WA and I'm sure is living a happy life at the farm playing with all the other MB's.

Take care all, hope I haven't inconvenienced anyone with this resurrection.
