probably would help if you described your specifications you want in terms of
ride quality, control, handling, compliance....the road conditions in your area,
type of driving you do, etc. otherwise you simply asking something overly
broad like "i'd like to make my car better...what should I do?"

You'll probably get some hate for cutting springs. I've got cut H&R springs on my wagon though. It rides well and I've had zero issues.

hello akhadzhi,
better solution for you is to FIRST read thru all the valuable posts here on this forum. Do a search such as "w210 e320 lowering options".

Going thru the relevent threads will:
1) get you answers / solutions faster than you posting a generic Q (thats a personal taste different to each member)
2) once you done that, then ask more specific Qs that the threads may not have answered for you.
3) I'm betting you'll find most of your answers in a quick search.
GL.

Check the thread date. OP hasn't been on here in over 5 years, doubt he'll see this.
