E320 4matic wagon
4-matic wagon performace upgrades

Has anyone upgraded shocks, springs, swaybars or installed a shock tower strut bar on a 4-matic wagon? I am not having a lot of success finding parts. Performance parts manufacturers do not seem to like 4-matics' and/or wagons and/or leveling suspensions as there does not seem to be much out there for my 2000 4matic wagon. Looking forward to any comments.

tks
Ken

Mark, thanks for the reply. Got any pics of the car? I trust the springs lowered yours, yes? How is the ride? I purchased sway bars from Brabus but they were would only fit a sedan. The front was too short.

Mark,
You indicated you put in heated seats. Did you already have heated seats, and you just switched them to the two-tone, or did you switch from non-heated to heated? I recently bought a 4matic wagon and was told it would be outrageously expensive to put in heated seats.

It is to bad you don’t have any pictures, because I am thinking about doing some of the same modifications.
