Lowering Springs


The only setup that seems to be available for the w213 (non air ride) is eibach pro and H&R. Both only lower 1.25” front and rear. It’s not that big of a deal for the front, but the rear needs about 2”... maybe even 2.25-2.5”. Has anyone found interchangeable part numbers from any other models that will work? I really would like to avoid going full air suspension, but this wheel gap is killing me!!

Not yet here. I will be in your shoes in the next month or 2.

What kind of wheels are those? Forgestars? And your sidewalls are 30 im guessing?

And you pretty much covered it as far as the lowering options on the W213. This is all we get, and I agree the dropped amount is pretty minimal and for sure its not enough for the proper aftermarket wheels look.

@Clear2Close I think your tires looks too narrow on the rims. Maybe that's what causing the visible distortion in the rear. Maybe try 10 mm wider?
