It is automatic...but there is a way to adjust it manually for heavier load etc...It just "looks" from the picture like its sitting too high...maybe somebody before adjusted it slightly?

Thank you. I think that is the best $600 I've spent in a while. Here as the full story on that: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/...d.php?t=248611

I love your wagon man....That's the look I want on mine eventually. It looks so clean and sporty, yet keeps the respected Mercedes look.
What is the exact suspension setup you got there?

Chappy your wagon is looking hot!
Pwogaman, did the previous owner sell the car possibly because they $HlT themselves in the driver seat?
Just wondering.

Cut OE springs f/r
Rear 500E swaybar
Not sure of the spring pad sizes....I just let mbenzman loose with the car. I told him how I wanted it to handle and look. He did the rest.

Finally got my Monoblock II's on the wagon 
gotta paint those headlight wiper panels though....slightly different color unfortunately. Stands out in the picture, but in real life most people wouldn't even notice it.

1995 E320 wagon
hey guys,
right now my 1995 E320 has KYB shocks on the front and the softness/roll are driving me crazy. i want to upgrade to stiffer suspension like Bilstein HDs. i am also toying around with the sportline shocks/struts on the front. one of my concerns though is the rear suspension - would it be wacky handling to just have bilstein HDs or sportlines on the front, and factory rear? any thoughts/advice?
thanks

W124's; 92-2.6, 94-wagon
I recently picked up a 94 e320 wagon. It has the oem 15s on it with worn tires. I am looking at some take off oem rims off other models with some life left in the tires...
Is there a pic post somewhere on the board that shows wagons with different wheels? Suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks!
