Question about lower springs

Hey guys,

I am new to the forum here, just purchased a 2014 E250. Came from a 2003 Lexus IS300 and a 2007 BMW 335i coupe.

I've just got a question regarding lowering springs. I've noticed that 100% of the springs in the market specify their use for the e350/e550, but never for the e250?
Can anyone explain the reason behind this? Is the suspension setup for the e250 different to the e350? Or is that fact that e250 doesn't exist in the US market?
Your input would be appreciated!

Jeff

I think it's the same thing but since the e250 is somewhat new I don't think their info is updated but it's still a w212. Not 100% ceratin

Oh ok thanks for the input, I am assuming that the e250 came out relatively later than the e350/e550 hence aftermarket parts haven't updated their compatibility yet. (I don't live in the states so I wouldn't know)

Contact the sellers, they will let you know. Also pretty certain they'll fit...
