Be aware that at least on the 97 C / E / SL M104 with Bosch ME2.0 / 2.1 , if a miss fire is detected, the computer will shut off that cylinders injector to prevent cat melt down.

The 201 strut front suspension uses some parts related to the W124 / R129. Big brakes can be installed with some mix / match. The rear suspension / hubs are very similar and should interchange.

The 202 front suspension is double A arm and more related to the W210. The W210 uses the same upper A arms as the sport version W202. I'm still trying to find out the difference between Sport / non sport W202 upper arms, about the only difference could be bushing stiffness or maybe a taller ball joint stem for more camber gain on compression.

If you look on rock for parts, you can click on the part number and get a " what it fits " . Use this only as a guide not 100 % verification.
