For the rear shock you can use a saab 900 rear shock, or a ford ranger front shock. I am using a Bilstein ranger shock for the rear of my W124 and E36 M3 Bilstein for the front. Just need to order H&R springs (i was previously planning to put bags on the car but sold the air ride).

Part # for the shock to use in the rear

Bilstein 24-137430 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber

Hope that helps!

Will this lower the car at all? Trying to judge whether to use the saab/ranger struts to replace my 1987 300td wagon. Want to maintain stock height.

Nope, the spring controls the ride hight. But this shock has a lower overall stroke which is ideal for lower cars, something to think about if your car is at a high stock hight.

I installed the H & R kit on my 124 and i really love it. You really don't need to reinvent the wheel with the suspension on these cars.

It lowered it to much (for me) I ended up putting 10+mm M-B spacers in the rear and +5mm in the front. No, i have a sedan.
