I'm no expert on the airmatic suspension but I was told you can buy modules that allow you to lower it past the factory height.

The Vossens look way clean on the W212. Great choice and excellent photos.

BTW - I've lowered mine via Renntech Lowering module and it was worth it

Lowering

Your car looks great. The pics that have been posted include the lowering or is your first pic before you lowered the vehicle?

Very nice. Can you post a pic of your rear. I would like to see how flush the wheels sit.

e550 w212

johnc510 Amazing Look - I have same colour of the car E550 4matic - Just wanted to say that I have looked at your car many times - looks great - wheels and the spoilers you have on the car. I did my markers in tint and licence in LED extreme brightness.

Few questions

1. Were the spoilers installed by you or was it done by a shop and also are there any issues with them coming off?
2. Would you know what size width maximum wheels I can put on since it is 4matic?

Thanks

what would be the sizes and offsets if I want to do CV3 but on 19".
what would the sizes and offsets if I want to do CV5 on 19". Are the CV5s available for my car ? ealier post seems like OP got tired of waiting.

Thanks.
