[FlyC63]

I know the front is Springs and rear is Air. Any Mfg have any kit to lower this car? Have checked with Eibach and H&R both said nothing planned yet!

Thanks guys! There's no info on Renntech site. Also they didn't mention if they replace front springs.
Well this is what i did for now. Use H&R front springs for W212 E350 and
Use Links for the back. The ride is ok but not as good as stock. I'm getting my 20's in coming week so we'll see how it rides.

i think they said the changed the front springs or modded them for right now

the only thing is see thats bad is you used the springs that is made for the v6 motor with the v8 your going to have a lot more weight up front. the springs could fail, or you will have a bounce to the ride as u hit bumps

I do feel the bounce when hitting bumps. That's why not too happy with ride. Going to wait and see if anything else comes out! Thanks

what i would do is call Renntech just cause its not on there site yet doesnt mean they dont have anything for it.

So any lowering modules yet for the 2010 E63?

[Vic55]

from a pretty reliable source:

H&R springs will have a W212 E550 spring that will work with the 63- in about 2 months. For now most people are using the W212 350 springs which seem to be ok from the posts I have read and feedback I have received from some local shops.

I dont know of any rear module- to me it would seem rather price to spend that much for a rear axle job that will stay in the same place. All the lowered W212's I know of are using the links method. Its basically taking the current link and replacing it with a different link that makes the car go down.

Tom ~ have you looked into Carlsson and/or Brabus? I believe that you can configure Brabus' coilovers meant for the non-AMG's onto the front. Also, they have a lowering module for the rears. Good luck, bud!

Sorry to revive this thread. Any news from H&R regarding the springs for 550 or 63?
I've been thinking about lowering the car but I want to get it done right.
Hows the ride for those who got their car lowered?

I posted my impressions in my other thread. The ride is significantly impacted lowering the car with E350 springs and links on 20 inch wheels with low profile rubber. Its probably the most uncomfortable ride I have experienced in all of the cars I have modded. It's not bad enough that I want to return it to stock suspension, but as soon as the proper springs are available I will be switching them out immediately. I will also add that I had my wheels on for a few days before I put the drop on it, and the springs/links combo was what changed the ride comfort to bad, with just the wheels/tires it wasn't that noticeable. If you are sensitive to a hash ride I would wait for a better solution. In hindsight I wish I had just got my car with the performance package option, but I read many reviews that the ride was too rough for daily use in a sedan and none of my local dealers had one equipped with that option.

Yea finding a car with the performance package can be difficult. I wish i had it too. The test magazines say it is harsh on ride but I somehow doubt it was that much harsher than stock anyway. My dealer had a black one with the performace package and carbon fiber interior trim. It was beautiful. BUT it did not xenons and some other items(no P2). Sticker was $102 and change. I wish that car had the P2 package and it would be mine if it did. I refuse to pay $100K for a car with no xenons. I find that really stupid.

Whoever is doing the ordering at that dealer should be reassigned. Why would you order the PP and no P2? My only other guess was that it was a custom order and the buyer bailed on it.

At the time I got my E63 there were no cars with the PP in California available, the closest was Seattle. It was the last day of the month and I was getting a killer deal to take one they had on the showroom floor that had been sitting for a while so I took it.
