Looks good. I'd never ride it that low though (rear looks especially low), don't see the purpose in having such a luxury car for that, but to each their own. Tell your girl to pose without smearing her hands on the hood next time!

Looks nice, would like to see it with the front lowered a little more (or back raised) I like these cars best with a slight back to front rake.

Lol, friggin' Hype.

Totally agreed FTB. The E's design is very wedge shaped, with angles all pointing downward toward the front, so IMO the car looks best with a slightly lower in the front stance, or at least even

To have more of a drop in the rear defintely doesn't do the car justice. It does need to be even or as close to even as possible. It just looks like the trunk is loaded with sacks of potatoes.

I hope those rims dont get bent. Should have gone with 19s. My dealer advised me against 20's. Says he see alot of bent 20's. This applies to SoCal though. If you live in a state that takes care of their roads I guess your good to go.

Dot hate playas lol, yea I plan to lower the front more. But I had a s550 lowered on 22s and the front like the back and it rode like ****. Right now I feel like I haven't touched the suspension which is good. But I plan on cutting another coil in the front. To even it out.

Yes sir tropical living, that's are summer house in key largo. Us Miami boys like that cottage cheese, means mom feeding her good at home (ghetto thug voice) lol

Having the back lower than the front makes the car look like a broken hooptie that can’t handle more than one passenger in the rear.
Get an even drop, or maybe the front slightly lower than the rear.

If he is cutting coils than it is Obviously not an E550... well... not a pre-2012 E550.

Sorry. I don't get it at all. Why buy a "luxury" sports sedan to only totally kill the ride? I think that 18 inch rims have gone too far on this type of a car. Hopefully the roads in your area are like the Bonaville Salt Flats and/or you have a very strong back. I do like the car wash!! Regards. Ned.

No, I will be lowering the front of the car. I was just testing it little by little, but as low as I am now and on 20s it still rides like a champ. I'll probably go a 1.2 inch maybe a slight more infront and see how it rides from there and ect till it's even or close to it. No I have a 350. And yea I mean the streets in Miami are awesome, I have a rat rod slammed were I'm 2 inchs off the floor. It's pretty clean here pot hole and street condition wise.

I envy you then. In SoCal, that setup would get chewed up by our streets after a trip to the grocery store. The stock Sport setup can't even handle the tragic roads out here.
