I thought we discussed some of this on another thread??
I don't have the W123 manuals with me today, but IIRC, there are four spacers available for the front of the W123. They are identified by little rubber tits that are on the outside of the spacer. The higher number (4) is the thickest spacer, IIRC.
I'm not sure what is stock on the wagon. Maybe someone who has one will know.
The difference in the spacer thicknesses will be magnified by the suspension geometry. I would estimate that you will get twice as much lowering as the difference between spacer thicknesses.
If you lower the body, the camber will become more negative. You will need to check it after you install the spacers. You can check it yourself to see if it is close to specs or whether the lower control arm needs to move inward a bit to compensate.
