Point by point

In order to ensure a consistent vehicle level regardless of optional extras such as sunroof, automatic transmission or air conditioning, Mercedes uses a points system to select the suspension springs and their shims.

To compensate for minor differences, there are rubber spring shims in various thicknesses that are placed on the spring and rest against the top of the spring retainer.

They allow you to raise or lower your W201 a few millimeters at a time in small increments.
