Yeah, I dunno why they didn't go to a custom spring shop and have a set of heavier springs custom made for the car. Sure seems like the easier plan to me. But, considering it has leafs, I'll just dela with it, and either replace and/or add as needed.

As far as the shocks... yeah, I have heard about using that cheap crap on MB's. I hear they don't work too well at all. I will definitely have to look and see what they have installed.
