Rolf,
that might be true except for 1985 W123s, and perhaps W123
coupes,... i know at least some (if not all) '85 W123s had a taller
ratio than preceding years, and i'm lead to believe that at least some
of the coupes may have had a lower ratio than the sedans (perhaps to
make them feel more sporty?).
maybe someone with better access to part info could verify this (if
they're interested enough). ;-)
cheers!
