My 85 needed them because there was a stop for lower arm movement. I
ended up using cheapo struct compressors as they only needed a wee bit more.

You don't need them for the rear springs on the W123 sedan. The fronts
are a VERY DIFFERENT story!

Very easy, no spring compressor required. I've done both sedan
and TD. The springs are under less then 1 of compression held by
the shocks with the wheels off the ground so not much pressure

It's best to undo the hoses at the top of the shocks while the
car is on the ground. Make
the lesjofors are swedish but they aren't that good, or, at least, people
aren't very happy with them. they are super cheap so even i could sell
them at the AZ price. i'd be inclined to avoid them unless i could find no
alternative
i'd take a long look at just getting genuine springs instead if
I hung the calipers by a wire the last time I had a spring out.
Didn't want to break into any hydraulic system, and it's only

There are a lot of people (idiots, IMHO) on Benzworld that like to swap out
regular springs and eliminate the SLS system on their W140s.
The consensus there has been that none of the aftermarket springs are decent

that
it is another problem to which factory is a really good answer, similar to
the question of your 140 brake discs.
people get very tunnel visioned regarding solutions. they spout some
rhetoric about the stealership and jump up and down in great delight over
how cleverly funny that expression is,

I have a couple of the 19mm rubber cups if anybody wants them. I bought them
for my '83 240D years ago, never used them...
