(10-17-2015, 11:29 AM)Tito I have those on my w114. It came with the car when I bought it because there's a 85l propane gas tank in the back. To be honest.... I don't see any differences empty or at 6 bar (87 psi)
Woah! Propane in the trunk... that sounds like fun, (assuming your w114 is a diesel)
I did some more research into these and it looks as if the lifting capability is adequate for the rear of a VW Golf... they say 750 lbs. force @ 100 psi
I think the 300D that I have will need rear spring with approx. 1000 - 1200 lbs lifting force considering the vehicle weight of 3,650 lbs, a 54/46 frt/rear weight distribution, and the spring location on the lever arm of the rear suspension geometry.
That means that I need a spring with a footprint of around 11 sq in. or just under 4" diameter. The chapman strut that I linked to in the original post is too small considering that it has a hole through the middle to accommodate the shock strut.
I guess that means a no-go...
