Lowering an 06 E350 4matic Wagon
We just bought a 2006 E350 4matic Wagon to use for short trips around town. And I really want to drop the thing, but I am finding hard to find any type of lowering parts, springs or coils. I have tried to search, but came up empty. If someone could point me in the right direction for some 4matic coils, that would be awesome.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.

Lowering
I've got an 07 E350 4matic, but would never think about lowering it.
However, when I was younger I lower my mini truck. It was so low that it would knock off freeway lane reflectors when I changed lanes and sometimes spark. I was a real bright kid.
I grew up around a lot of Vato's here in N. Cal and they would lower their impalas the old school way by putting heat and flame to the springs.
I don't recommend doing this to your benz, but just wanted to share.
Its your call.

Thanks for the input, but lowering the wagon is definitely a "must do."
As I have been searching more into it, it seems there is NO "kit" made by any company that is specifically made for an E350 4matic. I think I might just take it in to a solid customization shop and see if we can't figure out a way to slap a set of coilovers on, since I don't have the air suspension to deal with.
Wish me luck.

Lowering E350 4matic
Hey,
Just wanted to follow up. I have a pretty good relationship with my local MB Dealer. The guys in the parts dept at Sacramento MB know a lot of ****.
I put in a call to my service advisor to get the name of the parts guy that you should call.
I'll get back to you later
Sac MB phone (916) 924-8000.
I think the name of the parts guy is Dave, but let me make sure.
Joe
