Where to buy H&R springs
I've got a 2012 E550 4Matic Sedan (no air bags) and looking to get some H&R lowering springs, but the usual places I look have may different fitments and don't seem to be straight forward on what they fit. Does someone have a part number or can you point me to a reputable Mercedes tuning site that would have these? Thanks.

So, just any w212 E class sedan has the same part number for the Eibach kit, at least for the E500, which is the 550 in the states. Is the coupe the same as well?
I just want the 1" lower that the H&R give, from what I've read. All others seem to go lower, which would be too low for the wheels I have.

When using lowered spring, make sure the damper maximum bottom out is calculated too. These 2 must match.
Example, Bilstein B6 is a sportier version of B4 which is standard damper.
B8 is the shorter version of B6, which is made for shortened spring.

What you do not want is your damper main body becomes the BUMP STOP.
