[W126 Coupe] Shocks and springs

[Steve Nervig]

Jonathan,

Don't they make a Sport version for the W126s with lowered springs  
like they do with the w124s? Essentially the HD with a slightly  
shorter throw.

Not that that would preclude doing the valving mods. Just wondering.

Do you have the AMG specs for the C124?

Regards,
Steve
