Bob- did you install the 400E "Euro Sport" suspension? If so, can you post the appropriate part numbers?

Thanks,
:-) neil

Yes, I did that in spring of 2002. The info is posted here on the forum, but there was an error in my original post in regards to the rear springs. My original post has the numbers for the auto leveling rear suspension. I believe someone posted a correction towards the end of that thread. I'll see if I can look up the info and email it to you if you don't find it. (By the way, I love that part of the car.)

I was in the process of pulling a 2.82 for Jim B. 's newly acquired E420, when I found the donor '94 S420 was equipped with ASR.

As you know, Jim's 420 is non-ASR, so this was a deal killer.

Though if anyone has an ASR E420 who'd like an 2.82 ASR differential, let me know.

Like NOW. The car will be gone in a matter of days....

If anyone has wired the Abbott or similar ratio adjuster to the speedo signal in a w124, or knows of a writeup detailing access to the wire eg radio hole vs removing cluster, I would appreciate a link. Plan is the 2.82 swap. Have purchased the Abbott unit and a diff. Thanks.

I did this swap and it is great for around town. No need for abbott box. Just send the speedo to north hollywood speedometer and have them recalibrate it for the new diff using a gps.
