Will these lowering springs fit my pre-facelift 97 e320?

http://thmotorsports.com/eibach/eiba...0/i-53521.aspx

The production date says 11/97 which leads me the believe these are only for face lifted w210s?

Is there a difference in the springs for the face lift and pre face lift models?

The others were a 1.4 drop and the ones I selected were 1.2.. Seeing as I didnt want to go too low, I figured 1.2 was a good place to start. After ordering I realized they were specific to your cars production date... Any one have any info on this? Or do I have to wait and see?

face lift w210s are 2000-2002.

there may not be any difference pre/post. with MB there may be, with post
models sporting slightly shorter springs. but nothing in the ad you referenced
indicate that they make them any differently . the chart seems to show spring
difference made for specifically for the weight differences in the 210s

i think you should contact a sales rep

You should be fine. I'm running desired_speeds' 2002 E55 springs in mine and it's not a problem. Like raymond said, the differences in the chart are only from the different weights of the models.

yeah, the only reason I asked is because they have another set of eibachs that lower 1.4 that said they were for "From 6/95 Thru 10/97"..

.. of course i didnt check my production date. plus I didnt wanna go 1.4 low anyway lol

Once I get it low and throw some sport shocks in theres a good chance Im gonna get some spacers. After seeing the difference it made on siopaolover's car, I'm sold. lol
