E class leather

No problem with the late reply bpsorrel. And thank you for the info.

Regarding spring replacement. I am not looking to alter spring rate or ride comfort, just exploring the idea of stronger branded springs, that is all. Not a biggie!!!

I don’t understand - what / why do you want to change the springs?

W211 and S211 best car ever. They are just so "right" and IMHO totally timeless

The Mercedes springs are prone to breaking, often at the tip but not uncommon in the middle,

Greenmanslk Read above (Bobby Dazzler post) and back (page 1 posts) .

I don't want to unnecessarily change springs or anything else come to that. It was just suggested in an earlier post that front springs may be a weak point and worthy of checking in my search for an E class. Part of my response was to ask if there were stronger springs available to replace the broken originals. That was all. I feel the moment has passed now!

I was confused because you said “I am not looking to alter spring rate or ride comfort” and “ exploring the idea of stronger branded springs” , two statements which seem to contradict. I know now what you meant by stronger.

Bless you Greenmanslk. Thank you for coming back. If you read back you will likely get the gist of that element of this thread. The post incidentally is about the leather (or not (faux leather)) used on vehicle interiors.

I do find that communication within forums can be tricky quite often. No finger pointing here.
