Question 2015 e400 suspension lowering

Hello, i want to lower my car, looking at getting springs and shocks.
Hard to find coilovers, those i found are 4k and too expensive.

Anyone ever bought shocks+lowering springs? i was thinking bilsteins B8 but they dont make them for AWD models only RWD, so have to go with factory B6, and now looking for springs that drop less than inch, any reccomendations? Or how did you lower yours?-

Apperantly e350 awd is different than e400 or e550 for the engine weight, lots of support for e350s and 550s but not much for my e400 sedan.


Pic for fun

What a great photo

Did you remove the airmatic system and replace with springs yourself? Thinking of doing the same but don't know how difficult/expensive it would be
