  Your 105 Kt approach speed is somewhat above the manuevering
speed of the C-172 (around 87 Kt as I recall).  You might be in
for a suprise if you hit sudden turbulence in those clouds you
are diving through.
  When I was doing IFR in the 172, we used 70 or 80 Kt, depending
on whether one of the speeds was in the handy little box at the
bottom of the Jepp chart.  You really don't want to come screaming
out of the clouds at DH and have to change things that much.  You
should be configured so that you just continue your ride down the
ILS to the runway - smoothly.
  Remember, some things are harder to slow down than a Cessna.
