Hellava Nice Car! Nice RennTech wheels.
Where can I buy the springs? Did you have bigger OEM spring pads. Why not go with the smallest one? How is the ride now?
Does your car have the MKB engine conversion from Oberklasse?

Used to have stock AMG springs with pad#1 all around. With #1, the ride become a little bit harsh compared to #2 and #3.
The Euro AMG spring itself will lower the car 15-20mm

AMG Springs
BTW, the AMG spring set is about $240 in Europe. DHL express (two days) is about $135-150.
If you order with something else from europe then the shipping become cheaper.

Ride feel
The Euro AMG springs is I believe the same spring rate as the stock US AMG spring except shorter hence lower ride. I like it especially with the #2 and #3 pad combination. I prefer them than the #1 pad. #1 give a harsher ride.

E55MKB Again,
Where/Whom do I buy them from? I would not need to order DHL 2 day deliver, that is too much for shipping! "Slow Boat" delivery is fine for me.

Porsche parts specialist
I ordered them from an outfitter in Belgium which specialize in Porsche parts but since I already have the MB part numbers for the AMG spring, he simply ordered them from a local MB dealer and ship them to me.
His e-mail is Gert@carnewal.com and the AMG part numbers are:
A2103213204 Frnt springs
A2103243804 Rear springs
HTH.

E55MKB, Thanks for the part numbers. Where did you get the grill?
I love the Headlight Rings and the Star Grill. Got my E55 a set of Headlight rings also. Still in the box. The new grill and the flat hood badge give a nice sporty look without being too overstated. Your E55 style is great!

Star grill
The grille I purchased from a local MB dealer here in CA. I believe it is Schaetz grill which is basically a stock MB grill but modified by adding/gluing the star piece to the stock grill.
