E500/550 suspension recommendations
Hi guys just thought id share a photo of my fathers E500 (AU spec/Euro spec called "500" rather than the proper "550"..
Ive fitted it with 19 inch c63 amg style rims and absolutely love the look but to be it looks a tad bit high.. What springs/suspension setups can you recommend..
Would it be ok to just swap out the springs to some H&Rs or Eibachs.. or should i really look into changing out the shocks as well.. I just dont want the car to be bouncy..

If he plans to have it for a while, I would go KW1 Coilovers. If you drive on bumpy roads or decide to keep it for several years the aftermarket spring will beat the heck out of the factory shocks. The factory shocks were designs to work with the spring height that is standard.
