Are you sure you have the airmatic? If you used springs in the front you most likely don't have the airmatic suspension. Cars equipped with airmatic have air shocks on all 4 corners. Does you car have the little 'raise' button below the gear shifter? If not, then you don't have an airmatic suspension.

No,there is no button there. But it have some sort of level adjustment, because it goes up and down when I put some weight in it.
And it´s a compressor that starts pumping.
So no matter what I´m trying to do,the car just want to go to the same level.
The H&R kit just came with to springs, the frontsprings.

Searching for 45 seconds, I found this:

Not sure if the wagon rear suspension is the same as the rear in a w211 sedan but take a look anyway.

First,thank you for trying helping me out.
But I don´t really understand what to do from the pictures.
Is it so that there are two sensors, one on each rear side?
And when I´ve found them...is it just to undo it,and put some washers between the sensor and the nut.
It´s difficult to see it at the pictures.But from what I understand the intension is to create a gap between the sensor and nut?
I´m not a mechanic

That's what I was thinking. I'm not familiar with the load leveling feature of the wagons. Didn't know if it worked the same as the rear airmatic on the sedans. I wonder if the dealer can do some magic with the Star Diagnostic machine.

...and here is a drawing on how the airspring look like.
Is it equal to the one you talking about?
