Newbie - Lowering a 2014 E350 Sedan

Hi, This has probably been asked before but what company and spring should I use to lower the car (not an airride car) and still keep the same ride quality? And is it even possible to get close to same ride Quality? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!!

H&R Sport Springs 52728. It will lower the car 1.4 in the front and 1.3 in the rear. Your ride will be slightly stiffer but this should be the route to go.

How does the camber situation work once it's lowered?

It's not that drastic of a drop so you should be fine. I will suggest you to get an alignment once they are installed. After that, you can determine if you need more camber adjustment but I doubt that will be the case with these springs.

If your in SoCal. I would highly recommend Need4speed. Ask for Paul or Tiko, they have suspension specials. Get the H&R sport springs. I got them with Vossen CTV wheels and the ride quality increased substantially. FYI, if you plan on lowering your car with stock wheels and tires, you might not like how it looks.

To give you an idea, please see my toy.























Contact Paul at paul@need4speed.com

They are closer to you for install as well. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Love how my car looks and feels. Factory rides like a boat especially taking hard corners and the new 20" lowered on H&R looks and feels like its on rails. Don't have any problems going through speed bumps nor does it scrap as long as your not going through them on full speed even with 4 adults.

So here is how the Wife's car turned out. Hopefully I uploaded the pics correctly.

Also thank you Jacky from Vividracing.com for the H&R sport springs, the car sits perfect and rides perfect.
