Rear springs and Tachometer 200 86

posted by  someone claiming to be Ricardo on  Tue Feb 27 14:55 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello all:

I just bought Bilsteins for my 240! I was expecting a stiffer rear end, but I am suspicious now that my springs are bad. My rear is sitting low and its pretty easy to push it down, although nicely damped. Am I correct in assuming that this is due to my springs being weak? If I do need springs, where would I get them (definately not the dealer)? Anyone have experience with stiffer springs? I definately like a stiffer suspension ride and am willing to give up some comfort for performance, but don't want the rear so stiff that my rear end will oversteer everytime I turn a corner.

Also, my GL does not have a tach. If I go to the junkyard and get a turbo gauge panel, is it a 'plug and play' or do I have to make a special tach connection?

Thank you all in advance.

Ricardo
