Can springs from a 420SEL be used on a 560SEL

I am considering lowering my 560 using used performance springs but I am not sure what w126 model they came from. Are the springs on the 560 with hydraulic rear end unique?

Nick

The rear springs on leveing system cars have a lower rate than regular cars.
The other springs will FIT!

If you are looking for the correct springs I have a set of H&R's w/ no more then 15,000 miles on them (most of that spent traveling around the US for a summer..). If you are interested drop me a line.. The non-self leveling springs will put a rake in the stance of your car.
