Just lowered my 09 E350 with Eibach
just lowered my 09 e350 w/ amg packg with eibach pro-kit, now it seems like the front sits lower then the rear and it really bothers me as i would like to have it sit leveled front and rear for a clean look ...any idea if there's anything i can do to kinda lift front a bit ? will adding spring pad do the trick ? but i also heard 09 w211 does not have spring pads is that true ?!!

ok this is funny I had just lowered mine yesterday and the rear came out lowered than the front wtf? lolz I have no clue but just like everyone say give it some more times to let those springs settle (1 week or two). I have the CLK not E class.

Yup. Give the springs some time to settle. If you have fat friends, have them in your car often to speed up the process...lol (jk) I just recently put coil-overs on 07 E350. Unhappy by the out come cause the back was way higher than the front. Almost Hot Rod height. I waited about a month or so & my car looks much better. A little tweaking here & there of the coil-overs & it'll be perfect.

the AMG SPORT suspension 321 option has better and stiffer springs..
the EIBACH is really for non sport suspension MB that are softer
there are PADS that you can add and remove to raise or lower the front and rear,, I believe you have to take out 1 more in the rear,,
I hope you had a tech that knew what they were doing,, and not some MIDAS shop,,
I suggest you call EIBACH and ask them what they recommend for the PAD numbers front and rear

Springs like Eibach's and the like will always drop the front more, as the slammed look is supposed to look lower in the front. If you look at the cars stock, the back sits lower than the front, ideally the best look IMO for a car is with an even drop, leaning a slight bit lower in the front.
Out of curiosity, how does the car ride now?
Yeah, I too wouldn't sacrifice ruining the AMG Sport suspension with anything but the best quality of suspension components. I personally don't want to touch it as I don't want to mess with the suspension geometry created by M-B/AMG, but maybe I'm just old and boring now being over the filling-buster of a ride my old Eibach-slammed car had.
