1995 E320 Cabriolet
Looking for suspension and other upgrades

Hey everyone, I've got a 95 E320 Convertible that I'm in the process of trying to upgrade a bit. I'm about ready to have to replace the suspension, and would like any advice or opinions about whats available out there. So far I haven't been able to find a whole lot, I know H&R makes some springs, and so does Eibach, and Koni makes shocks and struts. What I really want to get my hands on is a full polyurathane bushing kit. Does anybody know if this is even available?? Also, I found a place that offers the sportline suspension kit, through another post on here actually. http://www.mercedesshop.com/sportline_suspension.htm
Anyone had any experience with this site/product? Thanks for any responses.

The Sportline suspension was a Mercedes option for the W124. It is great. There are several sites that list all of the parts necessary to replicate that option and once you get them, you end up with a lowered, tighter, much better handling car. Mine came with Sportline from the factory and it is great. I have, at 150,000 miles replaced the shocks and some of the bushings due to wear but that is it. You cannot get a better package any other way than replicating that set up.

I put the OE sportline suspension on my 300CE several years ago....still love it and a great handling improvement over the previous setup.
