Eibach and H&R lowering springs sets
Okay, looking for some help here on lowering my ’01 E320 / W210 chassis. I have perused different websites looking for information on Eibach and H&R lowering springs sets. I would like to lower my vehicle by approximately 1.5” to close the gap between the tire and fender. (18” AMG wheels with Bridgestone Pontenza RE750 235/40x18 and RE750 265/35x18 tires.) I’m not looking to necessarily improve the handling; I would like to maintain the overall ride-quality as much as possible.
Any specific recommendations would be greatly appreciated, including information on modifications that you may have done. I also posted the question in Wheels, Tires, Suspension but thought I might get more specific information here.
Thank you!

Thank you-
