Nice ride... Love the E-series wagons. Looks like it's the Midnight Blue color.
I'm taking my teenage son to look at a 2003 E320 4-Matic Wagon tomorrow. If my wife finds out I'm looking at another MB wagon, I may not have much time left on this earth, haha!
Finally test fit the new wheels today that I bought not that long ago. I need to buy some tires for them now. The rears are 100% done and clearance is a bit tight on the front. Those wheels have 245s on them and I need a 235 on the front. The rear will be going up to a 265. Also need to buy some lug bolts for them. Center caps have been ordered.
Yes, it will be getting lowered eventually. Probably do a 2"-3" drop.
Nothing new, but I did spend a bunch of hours polishing out the paint with a DA. It was my first time doing it and I'm very happy with the results. It's a night and day difference seeing it in person.
I should hopefully have my new wheels on it this or next week.
I put eibach Springs on my e430 with #1 pads and the front is way too low. Part number I used was 2557.140....i think I got the wrong ones
sorry took so long to answer. eibach springs with #3 pads, want to go lower got the #1 pads to go all the way around. yours looks great with that drop.
Finally got the new wheels on today. The lug bolts I ordered worked perfectly too. They're W211 18" E350 Sport wheels 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear. I'm running 235/40 front and 265/35 on the rear. No issues with rubbing at stock height. The car previously had 215/55-16 tires on it. Just to note, the wheels came with 245s all around. On the front they would were too close for comfort when it came to clearance. I ended up replacing all 4 tires.
Turns out the ones in that thread were no longer available. Pelican Parts called me saying they had some that matched from an Italian vendor that would work and they did.
edit: Specs for the lug bolts - RAD 12mm x 1.5, 26mm Shank, R14 Ball Seat

Wow very nice set up, cant wait to see with the drop.
Got the wagon lowered yesterday. We ended up using the old H&R springs from my W210 E55 and a new set of Bilstein B6 shocks up front. It's dropped about 1.5" all around.
I think the wheels would look better if they were bigger. They are better than stock. W210s really need to have an 18" or 19" wheel on them to look right though IMO.
I told him the same thing. save your money for 18`s and a 1 1/2" lowering kit. I had the stock 16" wheels painted black leaving the lip silver and a black center cap with chrome Benz logo. I thought it looked classy, but he had to have something different.

DUDE THAT LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN WHAT HE PUT ON THERE. I WOULD HAVE JUST LOWERED IT AN CALLED IT A WRAP UNTIL HE HAD MONEY FOR 18". CLASSIC MONOBLOKS COLOR MATCHED LOOKS REALLY LOOKS CLASSY. THE OTHER WHEELS LOOK A LITTLE RICEY.

Those wheels look much better IMO. He should have left them on there.
