help needed. 2001 E320 Monoblock III Wheels and Air Bag Suspension

I recently bought a 2001 E320 and I want to know where I can find some Brabus Monoblock III and I don't know what size would be perfect if im going to put on air bag suspension.

Correct me if im wrong but I was told those rims on the LS400 below are Brabus Monoblock 3s? I want those wheels on my 2001 E320 with the exactly same drop and size on the E320 picture below.

Can someone please help me where I can find those wheels and what springs I should go with. Thanks guys

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
18's max

and do you really want to spend thousands on a bag system when you can drop it on springs for about $800 including the camber kits?

What is up with all these threads about dropping the w210? I love the way it sits factory. I do not know much about mechanical or altering, but what advantage is their besides looks putting these spring kits and lowering?

lowering can mean slamming or just a tad height change. for me the
advantage was to try and moderate the body roll: 1.25" lower springs,
firmer shocks, scootch lower CG, slightly wider tires....all helped to
keep it from rolling like the Titanic.

windows tinted, HID projector lights, and it rolls nicely and looks a bit
meaner than stock.

Did you read

my reply? You don't want 19's unless you are willing to ruin your ride performance and quality. If you really considering Brabus rims have you taken into account that they cost thousands of dollars for a set of 4 3piece rims?

Eibach lowering springs,bilstein sport shocks,front end camber eccentric's,rear end camber bushings or camber links set,4 wheel alignment on the proper machine. Budget up

Ohlord..... is Eibach lowering springs,bilstein sport shocks,front end camber eccentric's,rear end camber bushings ,4 wheel alignment on the proper machine is a perfect setup for 19 inch rims?

The picture above with the E320 thats what I want the drop to be but with the Monoblock 3 rims and do those look like they are 18 or 19s? . I sall a few post for those Monoblock 3 going for 2-3 thousand and im okay with that because i really want those rims.

Where are you located?

I have a set of 20" Brabus mono III. I am not a big fan of chrome so I might sell them. PM me if you interested. And also I have a brand new original Brabus front lip spoiler for 96-99 W210 car.

The forum member Topdeez had/has a W210 on bags. I don't think he is very active here anymore. Might try a search.

I've heard from a few sources that the Brabus Mono III's did not come in 19" but I almost purchased a car that had 19" Mono III's on it. They were the one piece version though and not the multi piece version shown in this thread.

BTW your car looks

Im not a huge fan of chrome wheels either, but those are gorgeous. And I had 19's with H&R cup kit, the ride was fine.

OP, keep us posted with updates.
