Hi guys I wish to lower my w211
Hi all , I just got new amg rims put on my e320 and since the profile of the tire is smaller the gap between the wheel and the guard really stands out. Thus people have been advising me to get it lowered for pure aesthetics nothing more.
My question is , what springs should I purchase ? And from where ? If someone can please link ebay or a site that whorls be really helpful. Is there any particular springs that would go good with mercedes ? Ride quality etc..

I know it replace the arms on the ride height sensors different lengths different ride height.
So as long as you have air ride the sensor should be the same (w211). But what I'm worried about is whether or not if it causes worst tire wear in the lower position And what is the kit needed to adjust Camber.

i think the links are for air suspension, since the OP drives an 03 E320, I assume he's got the conventional suspension with shocks and springs. if thats the case, lowering springs or coilovers is the way to go.

not much difference between Eibach and H&R. I had H&R a few weeks back on my E, rides perfect but i wasnt too happy with the front height so I changed to coilovers. doesnt ride like the H&R but im happy with the stance atm.

Im assuming you're in America so i wont have any ideas. if you were here down under then it wouldnt be a prob. if youre just after an inch drop then springs would be best for you mate.

I know everyone have their own opinions but in my experience if I was you I wouldn't lower it.
You will face more trouble then you think.
First You will loose the comfort ride of the car. Plus tire wear is greater. Your suspension will give up eventually due to the roughness if the ride. These Benz have more electronics then you think they do and my suggestion would be not to even mess with it. But on the other hand if you got money and you are a rich dude then heck with it..go for the mod.
Just my honest 0.2cent.
