300E Suspension Upgrades?
So i have a 1986 300E with 152k on it. i really want to eliminate some body roll and give it a more aggressive stance. To achieve this should i just do sport springs? or should i do springs and struts? What would be the best springs to buy and what is involved in installing them?
-thanks

ps2cho, the H&R springs come in two variants. One is 29569.1 (1.5 F /1.3 R) and 29569.2 (1.3F / 1.3R).
Not sure what the difference is between the two kits though :\
AFAIK, you can control the Sportline drop depending upon what spring and shock combo you choose.
