I have a 2003 mb e500 and i installed new bilstein air springs and when i started the car the passenger side rear air spring blew. Any idea what can cause this problem?
If you care at all about handling you'd not want to do that at all... Slight camber is alright, but I wish this theme would phase out already. It's so silly having only 1/3 of a contact patch for the tire.
But if you like it, then that's all that matters. Tires aren't cheap, and running them like that you'll go through them quickly.
Hey @nelson09 did you have to do some body work or just alot of rolling to the rear fenders for the tuck? I'm running into the issue where now that I've lowered the car my 295's are rubbing like crazy even while already rolled

my 211 came on stock susp wouldn’t consider ever going back car is much more responsive and planted in/out of turns. I get about 6 months out of my front tires and replace rear tires once a year.

just a roll and adjustable camber arms to bring the 12 o’clock position of the wheel inward to fit 18x10 on all 4 corners. I ordered the spring rates on my Coilovers about twice as stiff as the rates on original springs so not too much travel. I’m running 215/40/18 on them 285 would rub!!
Picked up this E500 last year, it's had the once over and aside from a few outstanding service items which I've been working through its in excellent condition.
I still need to properly refinish the headlights, and get it a decent detail and polish.

Just washed my baby last week. Haven't had a chance to polish in 6+ months, so could look better. Last pics are with 20mm spacers I put in the rear today.
