I'm guessing based on my experience with my W124-

The alignment is way off on one side, effecting the ride height.

My clue was the suspension was high driving fwd. But, you could drag the brakes with it in reverse and the front would drop to being too low.
One of the MB techs piped in and told me to zero 3 of the eccentric bolts and put the 4th to one side. I winged the toe adjustment with a tape measure and took it in.
MB guy aligned and it settled. I would probably go for a thinner spring pads, but then again- not scraping the undercarrage is probably worth more to me now days than looks.
