My 300E ride height is a **** off
My car is low in the front and high in the back which pisses me off. the front springs dont look broken or aftermarket. Anybody else have this?

You would probably notice, but have you checked your front shocks.. I know mine were gone and when I replaced them it bought the car up a few inches!

the rear of your car looks like stock height, the front looks lowered. Our cars are getting old, so it's likely that something needs fixing. Shocks most likely. Springs could be getting old too, though.
I would be extremely surprised if your car rolled off the assembly line like that.

there's definitely something wrong with the front of your car, that's very far from stock, even with no spring pads. that looks at least as low as when i had the vogtlands up front, i think your shocks are done and your springs are carrying most of the weight of the car...
the spring pads sit on top of the springs, you would have to compress the spring and remove the pad. even then, the front will be lower than the back, right now even if you are running the largest pad and you removed it, you would only go down maybe 3cm or so

I wish i drove,300e/500e/clk55/e55
i would start with spring pads and shocks...could possibly be ball joints as well it could be alot of diffrent things, but without looking at the car its hard to tell..good luck!
