Thank you all for your replies. Reading the forums, I was under the impression that a lot of people do their own work or even had friends who were technicians who could help them.

Now some questions about the 500E springs. I know that in the archives there is mentioning of the 400E or 500E springs being ideal for the Hammer models with the V8 engines, however, what about the stock E320 inline 6? Would the springs keep the car at a higher level with the lighter engine? Will the 500E springs and struts just fit right in with no modifications needed?

Thanks again. I really am enjoying doing all this research on my car. BTW, just this weekend I swapped out my stock 15" wheels for 16" wheels from a C230Kompressor (I think), and it has made a drastic change in the appearance of the car, not to mention the handling. Surprisingly the car is quieter with the Contitouring tires than with the P6000 on my 15" originally.
