W123 lowering springs - Robert_UAH - 03-30-2012
So 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.

I cut mine and they work great. Car handles much better also.
RE: W123 lowering springs - sassparilla_kid - 04-01-2012
Wouldn't the springs be softer when they're cut?
RE: W123 lowering springs - Kozuka - 04-01-2012
No it increases the spring rate when you cut them.
RE: W123 lowering springs - sassparilla_kid - 04-01-2012
So they are shorter and stiffer? Welp I guess mine need a little cutting then lol
RE: W123 lowering springs - Robert_UAH - 04-02-2012
There are people like QA1 and Hyperco that have tons of different spring sizes and rates and I am kinda wondering if there are any of these that fit...

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