2006 Mercedes E350 Sport
Just bought a new E350 Sport, some questions
I got the E350 from Fletcher unfortunatly, they were the only ones around with the sport package 333, it comes with a lowered spring suspension, stiffer sways, but i wanted to lower it another 1" all the way around. Any suggestions? Also where and how much are the amg pedal sets, I saw the thread but it didnt mention where to buy them.
Thanks in advance, ill get some pics up later tonight

Photos please 
I am waiting for my E350 Flint Grey wagon today that is to be delivered at 1 p.m. I got the appearanc package which includes the airmatic suspension.
How "sporty" is the airmatic suspension in its stiffest settings? I have a BMW 3 series coupe with H&R springs, Racing Dynamic's Sways and Bilstens shocks. It rides like it is on rails. Will the wagon feel considerably softer? If so, how can I stiffen it up (reasonably of course because it is a wagon after all).

I have a similar car - Silver/Charcoal 350 w/333 Sport Pkg, Pano Roof and Clear Bra. I love this car...the wheels look great and it is a joy to drive.

Looks great, I cant wait.
I also wanted pano, but he couldnt get one of those in time either. Had to settle, but it was well worth it as he (brother in-law) got me an amazing deal:
msrp: $56715
paid: $45907
Did you tint the windows darker? Or is that the standard tint?

Can try spring pads first to see (IF) you get enough..If Not Spring replacement time..
Nice car! They didnt have any Sport E350s when we bought ours..So Steve @mbenznl.com Installed AMG E55 front and rear bumpers/skirts with Quad AMG exhaust..
Also Steve Installed the Pedal set !

That is an amazing deal for a GREAT car. I did add tint...the factory tint is just a Blue hue. I put 35% tint on top of it. It's not too dark - looks classy, but others prefer a darker tint so you can not see in the car. The 35% will look a bit darker on a non-pano car.
Be sure and post some pic's when you get your car!
