He wrote this about the lowering: " The coil springs were quite worn when I bought the car and I didn't like the way it wallowed while cornering. W123 springs are linear rather than progressive, so I cut 2 coils from the front and 1.5 from the rear. This effectively brought the car down 1" all around without incurring unpredictable handling. I have the Merc spring compressor (ridiculously expensive tool) and can raise the car to stock height if you desire to renew the springs."
