i have an 87 240Dl which is in excelllent condition. however i do no like the height that it is at. what i would like to know is where can i purchase a set of lowering springs. i live in canada 30min from toronto and i can not find a place that will lower it.

FCP Groton lists a lowering spring kit by SCAN TECH for $189, lowers 45mm, I've never heard anybody mention this one. I stumbled across it while browsing. Has anybody out there installed it? Give us your opinion. I may be interested in a kit for a future project.

Thanks,

others have given good advice. in addition, shox.com sells suspension components for the 240. here is a copy of an e-mail they sent me.

if i do it, i'd probably go with ipd springs and boge shocks.
good luck.

Search the archives on "lowerings springs" or "suspension upgrades", etc. There are many posts on this subject. Also check out www.ipdusa.com for lowering springs. There are other companies on the web that sell springs for the 240 as well...Good luck
