Lowering an E320 without airmatic

Since I will be leasing can I lower my E320 and convert it back to stock at the end of my lease? How much is it to lower an E320 without the airmatic suspension?

...you would be better off just paying the extra $$ and opting for the airmatic especially if you are considering a lease contract.

you need lowering springs (and shocks if you don't want excess wear on your stock shocks) or try the spring pad route (although most dealers will tell you not to lower the car at all)
good luck, let me know how it turns out, i'm trying to do the same...

thats for cars without airmatic---sorry
for airmatic, you need the lowering module, or search the threads for this, there is another cheap way to lower airmatic cars with some kind of bolt or something.
