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?

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!
