Help on lowering a e500
Hi guys and gals. Please bare with me as im new to the forum. I just bought a 2006 e500 for 2k. Had a bad egr vavle and a little body damage when i bought it. Has 172k on it. I did research and found that beside renntech there isnt much performance upgrades. Im ok with that. I came across this in a post on here from 2007. Had a couple questions about it?

Has anyone used this and if you did were you happy?

Also would it work on a 4matic. Seen happy post and not so happy post. Please little in sight would be helpful. Thank you

New car

Do you have a 4matic? Is it ok on drive shaft extra? How are tires after lowering? How many inches did it drop?

no i'm 2wd. tire wear varies on how low you go. It's all personal preference. it can drop quite a bit
