I have a E500 with 92k. I was looking at the strutmaster conversation kit from air to coil overs. Any1 have this kit? How is the ride? Any regrets? Thanks

I had Arnott on my E500 wagon and it was the worst kit you can buy. The rear springs sagged heavily and I ended up snapping one. I ended up getting BC Racing coilovers and they have been great especially for the adjustability.

The best coil springs conversion you can get is factory stock w211 suspension from a V6 including the rear lower control arms. Arnott is hot garbage.

I will add I 'm also running the E350 rear lower arms to accommodate a normal spring.
