Thanks Brian for the tips. I investigated the rear springs that were installed and discovered that I had the "red" marked shorter spring .. in pic you can see it's about a 1/4 turn shorter than the "blue" spring -- so the dealer was right on the mark. (thank god for my '92 junker 300E). In '90 the 300E's went to the short and long in the rear based on weight, options, etc. Somehow I screwed it up and ordered the red a couple years back when my car calls for blue.


I threw on the longer spring and the 2 nub pad that came off junker was still in good condition so I put it on also (dealer doesn't stock 'em) and the height jumped approx 3/8 inch -- about 10mm. It's definitely noticeable, if not by the pictures. The neg camber seems to be all but gone. Tommorrow I'll do other side and swing by dealer to get it checked again.

Thanks again fellas.
