Lowered My 04 E320
After reading all the pros and cons about lowering you E-Class, I finally decided to do it. She looks really SEXY!! hahah. Amazingly, I feel no difference in the ride or dirving. There is no scraping or rubbing in anyway. D2 Technik lowered it with Eibach Pro Kit, ask for collins he was a great help. I also got the 20 inch rims put on. Thanks to all the mercedes family that posted about the pros and cons of lowering...

Looks Slick bro. What tires sizes did you go with? 35 front 30 in the rear? It looks like you have more than a 25 profile in the back. Now that I look at it even though the h&r is supposed to do more of a drop all around mainly in the front, Its still looks like your eibach drop is more aggressive in the front. Plus it will probably settle it bit more in the next week.
Yes the body will roll slightly then just completely stop, as they are progressive springs. Its so the small bumps feels close to stock but the corners, well it feels good being able take hard corners again, I was missing my porsche.

Hey guys thanks for the positive responses. To answer ASZN question..lol...I wish I knew what body rolling meant. I pretty much drive my car like a 60 year old man, but she still drive really comfortably.
Hey Eric bro thanks for the props. When I saw your car I was hoping it was going to look something like yours. So I appreciate that. Actually I have 235/35/20 all the way around. I wanted H&R also and the guys at D2 were like we do both springs but your going to like the Eibach's more. Sure enough I love it.

Your front tires are .75 inch taller than stock and 1.25 inch taller in the rear, that's what is making it fill the wheel wells nicely. The lip looks huge for 235. Just out of curiosity what did they say the main difference was between the two springs?
As far as body roll, that just means when you turn around the corner how much does your car tilt. No body roll means that even if you dive into a corner your seat/chassis remains perpendicular to the pavement. Hit an on ramp with a good bend at a decent speed, you'll feel the difference.
