diff bushings do not affect the height. The 2 subframe mounts in the front and 1 in the back do.

These cars have rubber pads on top of the springs and they can wear out over time. Count the number of burrs on them when replacing. You can get taller ones.
Also W126 have soft springs in the back. In my 300SE I can easily tell when I have a full tank just by looking at the rear suspension. So if you like to carry a lot of junk in your trunk the car will sag. In the US the 560SEL/SEC and I think some 350SD/SDL had SLS to take care of this problem
