In an effort to improve the soft suspension of my 1970 280SL, I brought it into the shop where I had it service for 8 years. They replaced the worn front shocks for brand new Bilstein shocks. Upon receiving the car, I noticed that the car appeared to be about 1-2 inches higher in the front. I went to another shop and had them replace the rear shocks and steering damper...to get new shocks around. No change to the geometry..still higher in the front which I do not like. In fact, the second shop measured the front axle to be about 1 inch higher than the rear. I want to install John Olson progressive/sport springs and new bushings but before I do, I want to find out the cause for the higher front end, or make the correction via the springs. I did talk to Mr. Olson. Any suggestions or comments?
