how low can I lower it?
I currently have a GS300 thinking about getting rid of it for a 2000 E320. I've seen a few E320 driving around with either 18" or 19" and part of the tire (both front and rear) were tucked inside the fender. What is needed to lower it that low? The only thing I found is the H&R cup kit. Will the cup kit lower it that much?
I want to run 245 on the front and 275 on the rear on 19" will that work and still have it that low?

I doubt you can "slam" the E-Class and still use 245 front and 275 rear. Especially with out a lot of custom work. You need to roll the fender lips to use those tire sizes and no lowering. If you are going to slam (beyond 2") then you may be limited to a 235 width tire front and 265 rear. Good Luck!

I agree. With my 19X8.5 and 235's in the front lowered at 1.4" I still get a random rub once in a while when I have all the homiez in the car and make a sharp turn in or out of a driveway. You shouldn't have any problem with 265's in the rear...
