W210 e55 suspension on my w210 e320.
Hello everyone, this is my first post so if I miss some key info I do apologize.
I have 2000 e320 on 19’ carlssons still running stock suspension. I want to lower it but I don’t have the biggest budget. I have come across a facelift w210 AMG at a yard and want to know if the height difference will be worth my time?
I’m not looking for comfort in ride. I want more performance and visual appeal (for me) by going much lower than stock height. Can the e55 suspension be adjusted?
I want to lower it enough to where I will need to roll my fenders a little bit.

The E55 suspension will be a little lower than the stock suspension. I would check to see what size spring pads your car has changing them to the smallest size will lower the car a little as well.
This is what my car looked like on #3 pads and stock E55 suspension
You could get some vogtland springs off of ebay for about $200 for a bigger drop

The E55 does not have an adjustable suspension. Swapping in E55 springs wouldn't really be worth the effort unless you went with ones off a euro car since they were lower. Those springs would cost more than aftermarket ones too. Like illest said, swapping to the #1 pads would drop it a tiny amount too.
Your best bet is to go with a set of aftermarket springs like H&R or Vogtland.
