Hi guys, recently purchased a 2019 E450 4Matic Coupe. Do like it but wanna sharpen the looks a bit. Will be upgrading wheels to 20's but also thinking about getting a drop.
Do these have airmatic suspension or any special suspension? If so, are you able to still drop on springs? What sort of springs to go with? Any issues with warranty, ruining ride height etc? Coilovers is definitely not an option - it'll have to be springs.
Thanks in advance.

Any info on this guys? No one has lowered their E classes? Seems implausible. I don't think mine has Airmatic but would like to know a sure shot way to figure that out. And in general if anyone can provide information on lowering..
If you have airmatic there should be a button to raise the vehicle. Your best bet to confirm would be to run your VIN the a decoder. Search the W213 forums under Sedans for a VIN decoder, use the link and look for the airmatic option. I'm not lowered so I can speak to that specifically.
I have 2019 a238 with regular suspension and i regret that I didn't add the Air Body Control option... i can't use the on above, so can't share any experience on it.

What do you regret? Did you want a more sport suspension? I had seen some reviews saying the 18" are better than 19" for comfort, and on a threat about suspension the Air Body Control is stiffer. But, I have tried neither. I used to have the posrts suspension on 2012 E350 that was a nice balnce, but not adjustable.

I regret that didn't get the air suspension option, so I could use the mode to change the height. Regarding comfort, higher profile tires are always better for comfort. But in this case problem is the "run flat" tires, they make the ride very stiff.
I've got air suspension and I've found a device/module to lower my car.
Google - Mercedes Benz OBD2 suspension lowering module, or something similar and you'll see options available.
This device/module "tricks" the suspension. You only need plug the module into the OBD2 diagnostic port. You will then be able to set the ride height through your Command system.
You can then set the height between -70mm and +40mm (yep you can raise t if you wish) from the default factory height. You can set different heights back and front e.g. lower the front by 50mm and the back by 40mm, or whatever you want.
The advantage of this device/module is that it can be adjusted whenever you like, maybe -70mm for highway cruising and default around town - you don't want to rip the front off around town.
The only limitation is that the ride level cannot be changed whilst in motion. You just need to stop, set the desired ride height, and the get cruising.
I cant remember at what level I'd set the ride height in the images below, but if you lower it by -70mm the top of the rim will not be visible as it will be behind the top of the wheel arch.
pezza, I was looking for a solution that wasn't permanent as I do both city and country driving. This module is an elegant solution that suits my needs.
