i'm seriously considering doing some suspension mods..but then again i'm really happy with the way the car rides as is. Has anyone on this board done suspension mods to their W211? If so, got pics?

Do you have airmatic? If so, lowering the car doesn't affect ride quality very much. It's very close to factory. I would recommend it. It's a very simple process to lower this car. What happened to your old User ID "Stevo"? why the change?
Those wheels have offsets of ET44/46. Wow....I am surprised that they fit.

don't know too much about the comfort level of lowering a 320...most talk on this board has centered around lowering airmatics. But from experience, dropping coils is dependent on how low you go, spring rate, etc. Comfort usually does not approach factory though...good luck. Personally, if I were you, I'd still lower it...your car would look even better!

rpmstevo, you can always get the AMG suspension or Avantgarde suspesnion from Europe, that'll drop your car about 1"-1.5" inches. My car dropped a bit more after the suspension settled now with 9500Km on the odo its much lower than when I first got it.

I think those two mods would make my car look a lot sportier. Do you have suspension mods? Or are you saying that your car's stock suspension dropped after putting some miles on it? Got any pics?

was '03 E320 - now - '04 S4
1.4" drop
Hey Steveo-
I have an E320 as well. I've been doing some digging and H&R makes a spring that lowers the car 1.4 inches.
I'd do it right away, but my job situation is tenuous at the moment...

paul: I never thought the big star grille will look nice on a E UNTIL I saw your pic!! 
guys: for those who want to lower your car but have much improved handling, I might have a solution for you - anyone want to take a guess? The answer can be found on my company's website for similar product, but I have not listed there yet. Whoever guessed right, I'll give him a 10% discount when he place his order.

Are you going to develop a "lowering Kit" for 211 E55s soon?
If so, put me on your list please.

Sorry, incorrect. The next guess by you, Paul, will only get 9% discount. 1% less for every incorrect answer! Btw, are you still interested in the wheels?
