Do you want to 'stance' your 420SEL? I'm a newbie too, so I wouldn't know that much about lowering your suspension.

German cars usually don't mix well with tuner culture.

Mine was bagged, easiest way to get whatever height you want but very expensive. My c126 is on cut H&R springs. On my 420sel I ran adjustable Koni, on the SEC it’s on regular Bilstein.
