Sportline Part numbers for E320

Can anyone post part numbers for the Sportline setup for a 1995 E320. I have a friend at a MB dealer that can get me a discount, but the parts guys said "that's aftermarket stuff." They just have no clue.

FWIW, I have taken the LAME! step of installing Sportline springs on both the Cabriolet and Estate.

The low look was fun but, from the cockpit, the Sportline ride has established itself as my first preference - after a couple years of Low on the Cab and a full season on the Estate.

Anyway, I've used this resource a few times, so thought it would be worth a bump.

Are you saying you went from a bit "slammed" to the Sportline?

Yes, all three of my cars now are at Sportline height. Moved the wagon up first and aside from the looks, definitely prefer the change.

Then I drove my "ex" Cab on Eibachs this weekend and decided to change out there too. Twas fun, but my Pocono mountain trips go better with a bit more suspension.

When I put on Eibachs 3 yrs ago and that led me to go lower still, so definitely not too firm.

They would be my first choice now if I went lower than Sportline. I've run Eibach, H&R, B&G, Sportline AND stock now on the wagon. LOL, at least I can speak about an experienced preference now. <edit- no wait, no Eibachs on the wagon, just on the silver Cab>

No question: The lower my cars, the more I like the look. Here's idiot-me testing the waters, springs first, then struts, I enjoyed every step. But 6 months later, and running the two cars, I noticed a clear cockpit-preference, especially on longer drives.

Eibach and H&Rs were very close, the H&Rs were a little lower...and in my best guess, the biggest difference was height. Lower = tighter, better at speed ------- taller = more travel, more comfortable ride.

One is not better than the other, it completely depends on what you personally value. That said, I doubt I will ever lower a 124 below Eibachs again. No doubt I would do Eibachs on a toy, but won't go lower, even on a toy.
