I am looking for front coil springs for an 83 300D but cannot find a
listing for them. I can find a listing for w/o sunroof.

Is there a difference between with and without sunroof?

Thanks
Jay

Buy'em. Sun roof adds no significant weight.

Yes, and with the size of the w123 sunroof it seems like a convertible :-)

Umm - the sunroof looks to be about the same gauge steel
as the rest of the roof. Throw in a couple of pounds of
brackets and cable, and a few more pounds for the motor
in the trunk (I'm assuming this is not a wagon, or other
model with a hand-crank) and you've got more of a weight
difference in a couple of gallons of diesel.

In a word - no. The only significant differences in the
weight of the W123 sedans are the engine/drivetrain options.

Cheers,

Conrad
