I just bought an 1998 E320. Previous owner had Eibach springs installed on stock pads. I am looking for an e55 suspension if anyone has a setup for sale. Other recommendations are welcomed too.
thanks

DAN,The springs are the same amg and h/r because on several pdi inspections i found h/r markings on the amg cars...
btw h/r springs will lower your car a little more than the other brand....also you can play with the spring pads for a fine tune
the spring pads are easy to I.D. with the notch/bumps on them
also I have h/r springs with 1 bump spring pads with amg mono blocks 8/9/18 and NO problem with the tires rubbing and it looks
GREAT

Vic,
Thanks for the reply.
Did you change your suspension to the Bilstein/HR combo (similiar to that of the BMW crowd?
Can you or anyone provide details on the differences in suspension from the E320 to E430 to the E55?
I am assuming they are a simple bolt on modification.
Vic, what parts of the suspension are you selling?
Dan

I can sell the springs and the shocks. You car will have the same ride height as a factory E55 depending on what pads you have. Like I said before you can mix and match pads but generally you either go the same pad all the way around or a one size smaller pad in the front. I am currently running a #1 pad in the front and a #2 in the rear but before I switched my setup I had #1's front and rear.
