You mean like why do the english language FACTORY TECH service manuals for this car play tricks on you like tell you the heater blower is above the driver's footwell when it's above the passenger's footwell? Or why you need a model-specific tool to change the valve springs? Or why instead of having valve lash specs you have to buy the proprietary go/no-go gauge? Why does it take 14 hours to change the heater core and 15 hours to change the front sway bar? Because there were probably still some Nazi sympathizers working at MB in the 80s and they wanted their revenge.
Why have I hijacked this guys thread? Oh, that's right, because he thinks $50 is a fair offer to install coilovers.
