Rather than use a coil spring compressor on the rear springs the possibly easier and safer way is to lower the whole rear subframe which decompresses the springs. This allows you to also check the subframe rubber spacers which often need replacing. I never had any luck with the external coil spring compressors on the rear springs. It seems that the mercedes style internal compressor is what works.bunch of CoilSprCompressors on EBay
I assume they will/should/might fit most any spring
btw ... is there any interchange for a rear coils pring that can be used in a 4 door '84 300D w123 sedan?
or must the springs be specific to the vehicle say, could rear rear springs from a 300D (or other #) station wagon or car fit, and perform well on this sedan?
another ? what is with the different sized shims? I see them in 14mm 19mm etc.
any benefit, or need, to use one size vs another?
