Rear shock and spring setup!
Rear Axle Level Control that's the name on the Window Sticker. Problem! I want 2 lower a 98 S210. Vogtland springs, Blistein Sport dampers on the garage floor ready 2 be installed. Remove rear wheel 
a hose to the damper. After farther reveiw I learned that 98 on S210's were equiped with Rear Axle Level Control as a standard feature. So the questions I have are. Can I put the rear springs on and keep factory dampers? Or remove the factory damping system and replace with,new dampers and springs? Can I get some help S/W 210ers?

Sorry, I can't answer your question.
But, it happened to me when I changes my Eibach springs.
I bought the wrong spings, which are for auto-leveling, it made the rear too low.
Then, I got the right springs for rear to make it right.
Now, I have two extra rear springs for auto-level w210.
If you need them, let me know.
Good luck,
Ben

Fellows the S210 is a wagon. The rear axle level control adjust the level of the S210 when heavy load is in the rear. So it's not just regular shocks in the rear

209/W210 Estate /W211 modded by MBENZNL
I Installed The H/R sport springs in my W210 Estate using the STOCK rear struts...with 1 bump spring pads...No Problems..also with the rear self level one can fine tune it at the level arm at the center of the rear suspension..it has a adjustment slide on it...
I installed Bilstein Sport front shocks and E55 Sway bars..to go with the AMG E55 mono blocks 245/275s No Problems..been over five years...Looks great!
