e350 4matic bags updgrade

I am the new owner of a canadian w211 e350 4matic 2006.
I would really like to bag the car since it came with regulard stock suspension. i did some research but could find the info i need.

I was wondering if i could install the airmatic system in my car or not. would it be better to go aftermarket of stay oem. i looked at airlift and other company but could find anything for my car. Does anyone have a company to recomand ?
also if i go with oem, will it go low enough to almost lay frame with the module ?

thank you for you advice.


(im french by the way so please don't go to hard on broken English)

i think if you TRIED to put stock aromatic, the money (and headache) would not be worth the outcome in my opinion

i would say stick to aftermarket

are you looking for one complete plug and play kit? you'll need bag overs for the front (aero sports by Universal Air) which are exactly what they sound like, a bag that goes over your strut (essentially replaces your spring). the rear obviously is independent strut and spring so you can use any bag for the rear.

and then all that is left is for you to pick your management. airlift has the autopilot 2 which is a pretty good management with lots of options.

a lot of this will come down to personal preference and budget.

thanks for the fast reply, i have a deal for the e-level from a friend for the air management. i will definitely look at those bag over. do you think i can run my stock strut or should i go for bilstein or something like that. do you know of anyone who is running a setup like that to have some review on the ride quality and to know how the install went.

thanks again
