w201 & w124 suspension swap?
I have a 1991 300D that has received considerable upgrading and maintenance. Since purchasing, I have installed new bilstien HD shocks, performance drilled/slotted rotors, performance pads, and coil springs all around. I won't even get into the damage I did to my wallet under the hood. I picked up a 1988 190D 2.5 as an investment and possible quick turn for profit to feed my benz habit. I made the mistake of letting my wife drive it. (the aforementioned 300D is her car). Well, she fell in love with it. Now I have to sell the 300D. I can't bear the thought of letting all that beautiful suspension go down the road with someone else. The only way I'll ever get my money and labor out of this car is to drive it until they bury me in it. But then I thought..... maybe there is another way out! I could swap the suspension from the 124 into the 201. Or can I? Therein my benz brothers lies the question that no one seems to have the answer for. Someone please tell me that this is possible (and if not, break it to me gently) I await your response.
