I'm still debating lowering. If so I'm going with the Eibach Pro-Kit 1/2" front and 1/2" rear. Lowering module would be nice. You will be able to adjust your height. There are others guys here that have those that could provide better input.

A lot of disinformation or at least misunderstanding here.
1. 2012 W212 E350s do not have (and never had in prior years) Airmatic suspension, regardless of trim, even as an option. On top of that 2012 W212 E550s no longer have it as standard either (special order option only).
2. Before going though hassle of lowering, make sure 245/35-20 that you want to use upfront will fit. You may be unpleasantly surprised.

That's crazy!

Sport/comfort (or economy) setting(button) is not for shocks - its for transmission only. Shocks in E350s, unlike 2010-11 E550s, are not driver controlled. Sport E350s have a so called Agility control (not driver control) not Airmatic (driver controlled "somewhat"). OP maybe confused, but Airmatic and Agility terms should not be confused.

About the time because the diameter of the tires are the same as stock. (3MBs correct me if i'm wrong) I switch from 275/30/20 in the rear to 285/25/20 which leaves more space between fender and tire. Hope this helps.

Benzio, I wen through the same process several month's ago and these guys were great, Especially threeMBs. I went with the 20 you can see my pics and I have not lowered the car. I have a small gap and would like to lower but I have an awesome ride and I a do not want to lose the ride quality.
275/30/20 in the rear and 235/35/20 in the front with no rubbing
