W212 air suspension to coils transformation
I'm an owner of Mercedes Benz E350d 4matic with AMG optics and air suspension
I've bought it 6 months ago, and I had my fair share with airmatic problems on it.
It's coming to the point it's starting to stress me out if it's gonna leave me somewhere on the road because of the airmatic, so I've decided to turn it to normal suspension (coils).
Because of that, I'd like any advice you have from me, or any issues it caused you.
Except suspensions and coils, what else I need to buy?
For the best fitment, would it be the best to take it off from some other w212 E350?
What options do you think it's the best to buy for new parts? (Mind that I'm Europe based, if that helps)
I'm not looking for it to be lower than it is now (as seen in the picture)
Thanks everyone!

No sense in downgrading your air suspensions for steels.... even MB suspension coils need replacement as they sag to mess up camber.
Airmatic requires normal maintenance :
- saggy bags
- rusted valves
- leaky lines
- broken sensors
Then Airmatic will be great again.
