Question looking into a '15 E400 coupe ... with a couple questions

I most likely will be purchasing a 2015 E400 coupe (4 matic) in the upcoming week and wanted to inquire about lowering springs for the car.


Has anyone added these to their coupe in the eibach pro kit or h&r sport applications? Thoughts or feedback would be appreciated.


Also would the lowering springs be the same for the '14 E350 and the '15 E400?


And lastly has anyone changed the grill on a '14 or '15 model? Pics would be great!


Thanks!

Nice post. Im thinking the same with you for the suspension.
Maybe anyone can help?

Also, if OP dont mind im curious to for the exhaust.
IMHO that V6 N/A engine using xpipe to replace the resonator, i was thinking what about V6 TT engine? Still using xpipe or straight pipe?

Thanks

Hey,

I PM'd you back on the suspension I'm running. I ran the same on my 2010 sedan, and they were not the same springs. But that was sedan vs. coupe. I would think '14 E350 and the '15 E400 might be the same, but you can always contact H&R. Or if you can find out if they have the same part number.

I don't think many have changed out the grill on the post-facelifted cars as they have a pretty nice single bar grill.

~ I have very little seat time in the car thus far with only 20 miles on the car. I'm awaiting the arrival of the clear bra for the hood, fenders, mirrors, bumper, rocker panels, behind the rear tires and headlights.


I also ordered springs for the car today...

Vogtland Springs

Andrew,

Did you purchase the Vogtland springs directly from their German store website?

Looks great, but doesn't this void the warranty?

It would only void the suspension part of the warranty IF it was found that the aftermarket parts caused an issue.

You're going to love the E Class. I traded a '13 C250 for my '15 E400 Coupe and love it.
