So there still doesn't seem to be a definitive answer for what coils will work on a 124. I am set on doing coils, I'm done with this cut spring bullshit.
Through my research, it seems as if whoever does use the raceland front coil is wishing for more support with the top strut mount.
E-Class (W124) - W124 Coilovers - Are there any coilovers available for our cars? I dont know if there is a thread made like this already (im sure there is) but it seems that the W124 is a pretty popular car. Its pretty wierd that there are no coils available!

Does anyone have more input on this subject?
About two years ago I had my w201 (which is the same suspension setup) on a e36 raceland kit. It rode great and was super slammed on W208 16s. I had to do some fab work for sure but my cost was still under $500 for parts and i did the labor myself. The car is now sold but i was happy with the results. I dont have to many pics of everything but if interested pm me and I can send you some pics. To properly use the raceland kit theres some welding to be done and some fab work. You also need a 1/4'' think piece of steel about 12x12, rear upper and lower spring perches out of an e36, and front e36 top hats.
Bit of a thread resurrection but is there a definitive answer on using e36 compact/z3 coilover kits? They appear to be good. Also what springs should be used? Cut standards alright as they seem soft?
I understand you can't use it as a coilover, just as struts. But do the struts mount directly to the original w124 top mount and what springs are used when the struts are used? Can you use the e36 springs in the 124 spaces or do you have to use cut original springs? Because they seem a bit soft
EDIT, Bit the bullet and ordered some e36 compact coilovers and some w124 lowering springs. I'll post the outcome.
Anyone who has done this on a TE? Did you convert to a non-SLS power steering pump or just block off the rear lines. Also anyone done this on a 4matic; dont see why it would matter except the angle of the front CV joints will be drastic.
