Lesjofors Front Springs

Anyone install these? Everyone I've seen for sale for the 300D states no sunroof, how much weight can the sunroof really add to impact spring rates?

I'm rebuilding the front end and discovered a broken coil.

I saw those and am leery as they claim to apply the same part number for 240d as well as 300d turbo. Clearly big differences there, sunroof or no.

There is a set of Vogtlands for sale in the parts section.

There is actually a different part number for the 240,

240D L5000-73481
300D L5000-73482
300TD L5000-73482

I don't think I've seen a 300 without a sunroof here.

Aren't Vogtland lowered springs? I just got the rear spring issue resolved and really don't want to tear it apart, AGAIN.
