E320 4-matic front ride height too high.
I did a search but I didn't find anything on this subject. My 98 E320 4-Matic wagon sits too high in the front compared to other E320's. It looks like it has been jacked up and it shows excessive clearance above the front tires in the wheel wells. The rear tires seem to fit the wheel wells properly. The car has stock sized wheels and tires and has not been modified AFIK. Any ideas? Thanks.

The US 210s already ride waaaay too high compared to the euro ones. The 4 matics are even worse. Its designed for the old people that hit the parking stoppers and rip front bumpers off *i.e. my parents*

Hey, careful. I am one of those old people. LOL. I guess the next step is to check the pads. I have never been thrilled with the results I have gotten from cutting springs in the past, but maybe that it is an option. Thanks for the input.
