New (to me) W210

Just purchased a 2000 W210 E320 and of course I have a question. (No there was no owners manual) does this mean I have air suspension on the rear?


If so, does this mean I can change my rear end links to lower the rear and just buy springs for the front?

Here you go-

I guess I'll stick around for a little bit............

and no you do not have air suspension. If you want to lower your car go with Bilstein shocks and springs. I personally like Eibach Pro.

LOL...that's a hook. Press it when the car is being towed to prevent the alarm sounding.

You do though have hydraulic self leveling at the rear.

@Plutoe

Wow! Pretty sure if you knew anything about W210. You would clearly know that W210 does not have air suspension maybe outside of the US. Do you even own a W210? Why are you even here?

Your condescending comments are getting very old...... again I can see why Ohlord jumped ship. You make it painful helping out members here.

VIN# for that question. Amateur Hour...

Can we can a Poll going to Ban you? You were banned from Benzworld and now you are here with your shenanigans all over again.

I'm wondering... Since I posted this I looked closer and see no indication that I do...

Thanks Though

Now I see why the comment was of no assistance...

Thanks for the helpful words...
I'm coming over from 15+ yrs BMW ownership with a touch of Audi and Land Rover mixed in there. I also have a 190e Cosworth I'm working on but it may be on hold until I get this one handling and sitting a bit better
