What are you dropped on.. Springs or Coilovers?
I did search and I saw the picture thread, but I didn't see everyone saying what they used to drop. I have a 2008 E350 without the self leveling (Air suspension). I am trying to figure out what everyone is using to lower their vehicles.

I used Eibach Springs and the K-MAC camber/caster bushing sets. The details with part numbers are in the "garage" section of my profile

cks coilovers w swift springs up front and cks springs out back. i just found out fortune auto 500 makes coilovers with camber plates for $1100. there are a ton of coilovers you could choose from.

or just if you're looking for comfort and just looking to lay your **** out then do it right the first time and get bags

Is there any way to adjust the rear coilover without dropping the rear subframe?

Did you convert from airmatic to these coilovers? If so did you need any other parts? It seems that there are multiple ways to convert to coilovers

mine didn't come equipped with the factory air so it required nothing more than a swap of stock shock/springs and my coilovers.

just drop the LCA from the middle of the car and pull out the spring.
you don't have to drop the whole subframe.

What can you do with air suspension other than lowering links? I have lowering links and it's a good look for the stock 18's but the 20's I just purchased is a little much. Do you know if there are lowering links that allow didn't lower stances? 1/2", 1/4" drops? With my current links I have one side of the car dropping more than the other. Guessing the bags are not evening distributing the air to the air suspension. Anything I can do about that? Did some research but didn't find too much on this. Any idea's or help is appreciated!

Figured it out. Hoping I have the adjustable end links.. if not.. getting a new set later this week.
