I have my E350 coupe lowered with H&R sport lowering spring and it looked good and the ride felt similar to stock. Never had an issue.

Thanks for the quick response. I've had the car for almost 2 1/2 years and still have until November 2020 on the warranty. That's the reason why I'm undecided.

oh okay i changed my suspension when I was still in warranty and never had an issue. And I recently switch from springs to coilovers at 70k miles and still didn’t have any issues before I switched out, the only reason I switched was I wanted to go lower. This picture is of my car on springs before I got coil overs and went lower.

Was a front wheel alignment necessary?

So you are stuck at sports mode now?
Why does it stuck at sports mode after installing coilovers?

I'm going to go with the H&R sport springs. I'm not worried about the ride as much as I'm worried about any rubbing when turning, or bottoming out over bumps.

no I’m not stuck in sport mode on coilovers and I wasn’t before neither with the springs.

i didn’t have any issues with rubbing while on spring with the stock wheels.
i also didn’t have issues rubbing with my aftermarket wheel but I had to get thin tires.
You might need to do a bit of research if you want to get aftermarket wheels and not rub.

What size did you go on the tires and wheels? I'm planning on upgrading to 20" soon and want to do something similar.

I am also about to put coil overs on my 2011 e550 coupe. I was wondering if it threw any service lights or in limp mode when you switched to coilovers???
