Lowering Springs: Who Makes Them And How Low Are They?

First of all, the E350 is on springs (not Airmatic).

I don't like the 4x4 look of the car and don't want to wait for the springs to completely settle. I'm looking for a mild drop, maybe an inch all around or less, but without the harsh ride.

Does anyone have any ideas, or better yet, any pictures too?

I also need help on this topic. Couldn't you lower your car without buying suspension??? I heard that a computer can lower your car.

That's only on the Airmatic cars. The E350 sits on springs, so it can't be lowered via a lowering module or Star Diagnostics.

At this point it looks like it's either Eibach or H&R. From experience I think H&R is a better product, but I'm still looking for feedback though.
