HELP Lowering W210 E430?
Hello all, I was looking to lower my bone stock 2001 e430 4matic, in order to increase handling/cornering as well as appearance but I don't want to cheap out and cut down my suspension ruining performance. Any suggestions on suspension lowering products to buy that achieve a combination of performance enhancement and aesthetic enhancement? I thought I read somewhere coilovers can't be put onto a w210 so perhaps that wouldn't be a option? A see a ton of w210 owners that lowered them, it looks absolutely amazing and I'm dying to do it! Thank you for reading and please comment and let me know what to buy! Thanks everyone and have a blessed day.

Almost all of those lowered W210s you're seeing aren't 4matic cars. 4matics can be lowered, but it's not as easy as doing it to a RWD one. Do a search on here and you'll find many threads discussing this.

w210 AMG or S213
Get the smallest spring pads and install them.
For the back you can use regular lowering springs from any w210
For the front the only real option is to cut the springs. Here is a pic of my old 4matic with 1 coil cut all around and #1 spring pads.
