What kind of car do you own? is it E500 or just e320.
That was pretty pretty expensive for brabus suspension system. if you look to lower it, you can do it by yourself. What i heard is not that hard if you do it yourself. Brabus system is about 1000. if you live down in LA area, you can go to TWS for much cheaper suspension system.

On the Airmatic, the Brabus sport suspension is just an electronic lowering module. Brabus has springs, shocks and sway bars available for the standard cars from memory.

How much is it for the brabus springs for the E320? Also, I'm thinking of changing my wheels to monoblock VI but I can't decide between 19" or 20"/ one piece or two piece, what would you guys recommend? For the 20" wheels what is the maximum tire size that would fit the car?

Go with 20... if you have extra money then go with the multipiece. Otherwise single piece looks really great for 20.

Max recommended tyre size is 255/30 on the 20". There is no one piece 20" version that I can find and it is listed with a 19" multipiece front anyway.

The springs are around $400 USD and the suspension kit is around $1700 USD. (sorry my prices are in AUD and are converted originally from Euro, so I am just approximating for you.)
I purchased 19's because with the E55 getting the widest rear tyre possible was my priority and some of the roads I drive on here in Melbourne are rubbish.
Personally I think the 20's may be too harsh and too high a risk of rim damage. However since I haven't had any experience with the 20's myself I leave it to someone better qualified to comment.

Brabus website outdated. The reason why Brabus NA stated that you could not fit multipiece 20's on the E class way back then was because you cannot fit 20x9.5 in the front. Brabus only had multipiece Monoblock VI's in 20x9.5 at first.

Now they offer Monoblock VI's in different widths (from 9 to 10.5 i believe). You can fit (easily!) 20's on an e class.

But ditto the comfort statement. Ride is ***!@

Brabus still doesnt have Monoblock VI one-piece in 19" or 20", only multi-pc is available. You might want to send me an e-mail and I'll have all the pricing for you.

It may be a knock off. With a 20" I'd want multi piece in case of rim damage.

Does anyone have any experience with 20's? How's the ride? Does it worth the risk of bending the rims?
