03-30-2012, 04:46 PM #1So I was under the impression that H&R made springs for the W123 but going to their website I can't find anything for a W123. So does that leaves Spax as the only the supplier of lowering springs for these cars? Does anyone have a set of the springs laying around they can measure?

In Europe there is more suppliers, try searching german ebay www.ebay.de and search for "tieferlegungsfedern + w123"
I dont know if they ship overseas.

You could cut them- we did this for racing and it worked well.

May just be the shocks since they're compressed more than they should be at "rest" but I don't really care because it handles a lot better now haha.
'98 E300 Turbo "Juliette" - Brabus wheels and almost all the options a w210 could have
'87 300D Turbo "Roxanne" - #22 head - 400E brakes - EGR Delete - 17" Staggered AMG 5 spoke rims from CLK500 - 5 Spd manual
2007 Chevy 2500HD CCSB Duramax with about 400-500 rwhp depending on the tune I use
1983 300D Silver Exterior/Black inside - Sold and will be missed, may we never meet in a PnP.

Lopped off 1.5 coils in the front on my car and it is much stiffer now (insert thats what she said joke here).
