AMG euro springs or Aftermarket?
I'm looking into buying a set of new springs and shocks. Bilstein for shocks seems the way to go. I like OEM, though have heard good things about h&r, vogtland, eibach springs, etc. Now, i have read that the AMG euro springs make the car sit 1 inch lower, and depending on what spring pad # you get, the height can vary. Will the AMG euro springs fit on my 2002 e430 sport rwd? Is it worth getting the am euro springs or getting h&r? and also, where can i find the amg euro springs and for how much? What suspension set-up have you guys heard is best for the money? Any and all feedback will be appreciated, thank you. Here is a picture of my car at the moment, all stock.

Thank you for your info. Honestly, I have no idea, I'm guessing #3 spring pads since that is what most people have. If the amg springs are too expensive it may not even be worth it. Have you heard good feedback from eibach or h&r? I just don't want a slammed bouncy ride. I want to kill about half or so of my huge wheel gap(4.5-5 fingers) and stiffen the car up and still have it very solid at higher speeds.

w210 AMG or S213
Not all cars have #3 pads stock, its easy to pull the wheel off and check mine can with #1.
This thread has lots of good information
From what I have read vogtlands will give you a good drop and better handling without changing the ride much.
