eibach springs and bilstein shocks on 300se

Anyone put this combo on a w140? I have 18's and the gap in the front is too much and the back is saggy. I want about a 1/2 to 1 inch gap front and back. Any suggestions? also, A local shop quoted me 600 to replace shocks and springs all around, what do you think?

this is a very good question, i want to know the answer too. What rims/tires are u running ?

you are being charged too much, you can swap springs and shocks for about $100-200 just search around for a shop that will do it for cheap enough. I did my full suspension on my M3 for only $200.

also what about swaybars, do any companies make sways for that car?
