Eibach springs
No lowering springs give the same ride! Lowering springs require installing Bilstein Sport shocks made expressly for lowering springs. You will feel every pebble and crack in the road and your more expensive low profile tires won't last as long. There is also the consideration of suspension pads which affect the car's height. They are available from any MB dealer. Changing the spring pads changes the height. P.

eibach springs will give a nice smooth ride provided you have the correct shocks and struts. I change my 95 E420 with H&R springs w/c lowered the car about 1.25 inch, Shocks are Bilsteins Heavy Duty . Iam riding on a really agressive setup with 18x8 borbet on 235/40-18. Had to roll the fenders coz' of the big tires. Good Luck !!
