[W126 Coupe] Increased Wheel (Rim) Diameters

[FPecar4525 at aol.com]

These are excellent points and may help guide us as to the  modifications 
with which we feel most comfortable.  It seems quite correct  that it is likely 
that the 560 SEC would come with different size wheels and  tires in these 
current times.  I have so much confidence in these  German automotive engineers 
that I am reluctant to do too much even though the  technology has greatly 
advanced.
 
Having said that, and recognizing that I may be asking a rather  open-ended 
question, what kind of repair/restoration of the front end suspension  do you 
believe is necessary given the fact that I am only guessing at how the  
original suspension felt and worked.  My 560 SEC has 128K miles with good  
maintenance over those miles but it seems a little loose -- vertically -- in the  front 
end with some sort of minor verticle "play" when I go over a railroad  grade 
crossing, etc.  The tires are wearing evenly and there seems to  be no "pull" 
from left or right when tracking down the road.  I'd like to  consider 
"rebuilding" the front end suspension inorder to get the original  "ride" back if 
possible but I don't want to do more than necessary or otherwise  waste money.
