I installed the Vaeth lowering springs on my E350 4Matic a while a go but never got around to take pics.
Well, it was way more expensive than expected but I pulled the trigger to stance the thing
The ride is pretty harsh but I am used to stiff suspensions so it's okay.
Enjoy!

I agree with you, I'm not doing business with Vaeth ever again.

I've done:
-black sport grille
-smoked reflectors
-smoked taillight
-35% tint all around
-roof&trunk spoilers
-custom W211 AMG like quad exhaust
-blacked out trunk chrome piece
-Vaeth lowering springs
-19" Brabus Monoblock S

Looks very nice. I'm liking the smoke taillights. It looks actually good. did you do the whole light or just the reverse lights? Also, is that a factory roof spoiler? and your rear spoiler? it looks different from mine...AMG?

1. I did the whole light but more layers of spray on turnsignal and reverse lights.
2. Both roof and trunk spoilers are eBay ones lol

Not a fan of the grille or tailpipes (W212 looks right with angular pips IMO), but aside from that I think it looks great and has a good theme going.

like the tail lights a lot.....does the film or paint or whatever impair your backing up?
is there a lot less light to see?
it gives the rear a great spooky look.....

It's a clearcoat darkend with a basecoat.
Theoretically there should be less light but since our cars are equipped with LEDs, it is bright enough.

Does anyone know if regular H&R or Eibach springs will work on a 4matic? I would like to lower my 11 E350 4matic.
