04 e320 vs 07-09 e350 ride height

Im looking to put 07-09 e350 18" wheels on my 04 (non air ride) but the 07-09 e350s looks lower. I would like to retain the factory look and not a slammed stance from lowing springs. Does anyone know if they have the same ride height?

The v6 w211's do not have airmatic equipped. The different in height you might be noticing is probably due to the car being a luxury model or sports model, with sports being slightly lower.

The sport suspension was about a 1/2 inch lower than the luxury suspension on the 07-09. Plus luxury had the 17" tires vs the 18" on the sport models.

You think it will need to be lowered when I put the factory 18" on. Does anyone have any pictures

Lowering the car is all up to you. The height does not affect what size you put on whatsoever.

I understand that but I don't want it to look like a 4x4 with larger wheels and lower profile tires. I would the look of the factory 350 sports

You will be fine. Just google up a w211 e350 sport and add maybe a 1/2 inch to the wheel gap and that's what you'll be getting. You would have to be getting 21+ inch wheels to start looking like those 4x4s.

Just sent you a message. I have my factory 08 sport springs sitting in my garage.
