Lowering sports suspension.

I have a 2102 e350 that has the sport suspension. How different of a drop will it be with lowering springs compared to regular suspension?

depends on the suspension you replace it with. I'm on coilovers so I can adjust it.

Springs will get you 1 to 1.5 inches.

Maybe you guys aren't understanding. I have factory sport suspension. If i change just the springs, how different will the drop be vs luxury suspension. I know how far springs will drop regular suspension.

Sport sits lower than luxury. Not sure by how much.

Don't know about luxury suspension, but I got 1.6f and 1.5r drops when I swapped my sport suspension for Vogtland springs. It settled some more up front after that, but also I have a 550 so the front is heavier than your 350.

Same. I have sport suspension as well and I got about a 1.5" drop. Just right.
