2011 E350 Lowering Options

I have a pretty stock 2011 E350. I’m looking for lowering options that won’t slam the car but lower slightly in the front and bring the back down to make the car’s stance level. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

H&R lowering springs, ~1.5-2inches. Is it a 4matic? Springs are a different set if it is

Awesome! I will research these. It’s a straight E350 W212.

does this car have the sport suspension or comfort suspension option? the datacard, which can be pulled from the VIN, will tell you. the Sport suspension is already lower and stiffer, and has a harsher ride than the Luxury suspension, and any sort of lowering will just make this worse, as well as catching speed bumps, driveway lips, etc.

if you do lower it, you'll probably want stiffer shock absorbers (aka Dampers) to offset the stiffer spring rates required of the shorter springs, otherwise the car will 'pogo' (bounce) on bumps and dips.
