Eibach Pro-System?

Hi Folks,

I searched and searched and searched, but no one from this site appears to have tried, installed, seen an eibach pro-system on a W210 chassis.

In the next couple of months, I'll be in the hunt to replace springs and shocks + wheels and tires.

As there is a lot of good feedback with the H&R/Bilstein Sport, I am also heavily considering this because there seems to be many happy owners.

Wheels are going to be 18s so that's a no brainer. Probably Brabus.

If anyone has any pointers, links, feedback, send it to the board!

thanks in advance,

travis

Here is some more H&R/Bilstein info for you. I had this combo on my E320 and thought it was much too harsh.

Springs are not that expensive, you could always just buy them and then sell if you don't like them.

Re: Eibach Pro-system?

Hi Kwik,

Thanks for the feedback on the H&R/Bilstein install on the e320. Wonder how it compares to a E430?

tpliquid,

Thanks for the offers on the install, but what I was really looking for was feedback on the system itself.

I will be doing the install myself. Will be renting the spring compressor from performance products. Looks to be a very straightforward job compared with suspension work involving struts!

thanks again for the offer to install and if anyone else has some info on the pro-system, send 'em to the forum! Otherwise, looks like I'll be going with Eibach and Bilsteins...maybe...

cheers,

-travis
