Hello All,

I have been doing some research and could not come up with any suspension options for a 2014 E550 sedan 4 matic. Has anyone lowered one of these without the airmatic system paired with endlinks. Any options would or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have Airmatic?

ShazV6

Nope, no airmatic. Springs and shocks.

Can't go wrong with H&R.

I saw this manufacture. How is the ride? Any pictures of these installed on your car? Also, which did you go with, their racing or sport springs? Thank you very much.

Their website only says with airmatic suspension

I had the H & R Supersports on my C-350 coupe and absolutely LOVED the ride and how low it made the vehicle.

Ride is as you'd expect... more feedback from the road, but since it's just lowering springs, it's still a bit boaty. I like them though.

I have the same springs and same thoughts

ShazV6

Thanks guys, i really appreciated the feedback. These springs that you both have for your 550 should work the same despite mine being a 2014, correct? Also, nicobaires any photos of your car with the suspension?

I bought the springs for my '11 E350 (in the picture) and now have them on my '13 E550... I think it should be the same for the facelift, but you can check the part number for a pre-FL E350 vs your '14... Between 350/550 the part number I think is different, but they're literally the same thing (for the pre-FL cars, at least).

Good to know. Thanks a lot Blegthbloo. Think ill be ordering the suspension fairly soon.

i would imagine for 550 they have to be stronger/stiffer since its a heavier car.. no?

Have you guys had any issues with the rubber suspension bushings wearing out quickly? I lowered my C230k and I went through bushing every 10k miles.

I would think so as well. I am going to call the manufacture up and see what they say.
