Help! Will a H&R Touring or Sport Suspension Cup Kit fit a 1987 2.5TD??

Brand new to W201s and when looking at the H&R website site I see the Touring and Sport Cup Kits listed for the 190E, but not the 190D or 190TD. I wonder if the kit will it fit, or is there a suspension/chassis difference between the 190E &190D

Many thanks!

99 percent sure the suspensions the same. My 190 is a D and I used so many e parts on it its not even funny, even swap-able manual transmissions.. Worst case H&R springs is a great company, just call them. There US Distribution office is located in Seattle, so they can be reached during day time...edit* - Just looked up the springs on my micro fish and it shows same part number supersedes to one number, so they must be swap-able.

They should fit. I fit a set of factory springs from a 1992 190E 2.6 Sportline to my 1987 190D Turbo and the ride heights were virtually the same, though the 190D turbo is a slightly heavier car. However- make sure the H&R kit is NOT for a 4 cylinder gas car as they will NOT work with the heavier 2.6 gas or any 2.5 diesel...they are not strong enough!
