lowered my wifes 320 and now......
i searched and searched but couldnt find anything on this.
my wife has a 00 ML320. i installed eibach lowering springs on the rear, no problems. when i lowered the front with the torsion bars, it rides like crap. i only lowered it about an inch and a half. are there bump stops up front and where are they? i think we are basicly riding on them. if so i think if i trim them it might be better. any other suggestions?
thank you for any help

You unintentionally screwed with the spring rate also. I have driven several after we put cats on and had yet to readjust the ride hieght. The torsion bars no longer have enough tension to properly support the vehicle. They tend to roll, and ride really soft. The suspension will bottom easily.
The correct way to adjust ride hieght with torsion bars is with new keys, but I doubt anyone makes them for mercedes.
So whats more important? handling, safety, performance, and comfort, or a truck that looks cool?
