I have a 1999 e300 with 116,000 miles. When I load the car up for a trip with luggage, wife, and two kids (17 and 18 years old) the rear of the car sits obviously low. Would it improve the car's stance to replace the rear springs and spring pads with new stock springs? My thinking is that the springs on the car have 116k on them and they are tired. This car does not have hydraulic leveling on it.
Thanks for any imput.
