Eibach springs compatible for ML55?
Anyone know for sure if these are same fitment for 00 ML55?
Eibach W163 rear springs # 2558.120 - says fitment for ML320 / 430.
I have Bilstein HD shocks installed w/ OEM AMG 18x9 wheels. Will lowering this vehicle shorten the lifespan of these shocks?
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

2004 ML350
I would say Yes.
I looked up the part number for sport springs (H&R and Eibach) for your car and it has the same mfr part number for mine. I have a 2004 ML350 wich uses the same springs as the 320 and 430
So you should have no problem.
As for the life of the shocks with lowering springs. there is more to worry about the life of the shock mounts with that set up than with the life of the shocks. The lowering is not too drastic with the M-class so you should not need to worry too much about that either.
