Lowering Springs for 2011 E350 4Matic Wagon?

Do they exit? H&R? Part numbers would be hugely appreciated if they do.
(searched to no avail)

Edit: Found the H&R springs for the FRONT? The rear says drop "n/a". Is here something strange about the rear suspension?

Rear on the wagons I think are Airmatic, so you need lowering links for those. But I think the fronts are interchangeable with the sedans.

Thanks! I guess I'll be able to tell by looking under the car. Great.

Thanks for confirming.

It looks like I'll be looking for springs in the front and links in the rear.
Now off to find a brand/seller that will sell the front/rears in that combo or one of each.

Definitely air suspension in the rear. Yesterday, after our drive home from dinner, I was in the garage and noticed the rear air bags deflate and lower the car after about 2 min. My guess would be for easy entry/exit from the rear hatch?

My BMW X5 has air suspension as well but I have never seen it (or heard it) deflate after a drive.

Wondering

Did you end up getting any of this done? I just ordered some springs in the front for my 2011 wagon. H&R 29076-8. Looking to put em on next month. Don't know what to do with the rear though

Did you end up getting this installed? Wagons have airmatic in the rears and have to install links.

Im researching which springs I’m going to put in the front in order to use 20” rims.

Also want feedback from wagon owners on the spring/links Install.

I have the link in the rear and have Eibach springs up front. It lowered me about 3/4 of a inch. I am running 245/40/19 tires and I am not rubbing. Got rid of the wheel gap and still able to have a comfortable ride and get in/out of places with out scraping. These are some really long cars. I have had it on for about 8k miles. No issues so far.

Thanks VdubbG, I feel more confident now. Love to see some pictures if you can load some up.

Since I’m putting on 20’s, I think lowering it 3/4 in is perfect!

Can you please give me link on where you purchased your lowering links from for the rears?

Did you have the regular suspension before swapping out the springs or sport? Did you swap out the struts?

Hey VdubbG would you possibly have the part number on those front lowering springs? I cant seem to find any Eibach for a 2016 E350 wagon all there is H&R and im not a fan.

I dont think Eibach produces them anymore. Pretty sure H&R are the only options at this point for a spring only. I ran them for about six months and was not impressed. Switched over to KW V3 coilover for an e350 sedan, I have been super happy with them but they are not easy on the wallet.
