How To Determine What Spring Pads You Have
This is some info off the EPC. It's a chart to determine what spring pads should be on your car.
Take your base points and add the points for the features you have in the car.
Example: My 320 is a 209.365 with a base of (177 points). I have the following features...
275 Memory Package (1 point)
349 Emerg Call System (1point)
414 Sliding Roof (3 points)
423 5-Spd Auto Trans (1 point)
540 Roller Blind (1 point)
690 Emerg Spare (4 points)
810 Sound Sys (1 point)
177 (Base) + 12 (Features) = 189. So based on the normal suspension chart I am on #2/9mm pads.

lol, it is kind of confusing. I had to stare at it for a while to figure it out.
Your car is a 209.375 with a base of 187 points. Then you check what features you have and add the corresponding points to your base. Once you have that number you go to the suspension chart depending on what type your car came with. I believe you had 11 points in features, so that's 198 total. Check the "Normal Suspension" chart and 198 points falls under the #3/13mm pads.
