w210 e55 lowest and stiffest springs

title says it all guys. ive searched the forum and can't find anyone talking about. i had a e320 with h&r's #1 pads with bilsteins and it wasn't really low or stiff enough for me. now im looking for a e55 and the only time i want to ride the stock springs is on the way home and on the way to my mechanic. so guys, you are the experts.. who makes the lowest and stiffest springs?

I have the same set up as you. I know the non E55's have more to choose from. You should call EvoSport to see if there is a coilover package for your car. I think H&R might be the lowest, I know some guys have cut a coil or two on their H&R's I have Konis shocks and they are 4 way adjustable.

Pls be very very careful with cut springs, aftermarket or stock. I had them on a car years ago...and the car handled great at slow speed but was downright dangerous at high speeds...and cut springs will bottom often bottom out violently and ultimately damage the suspension. I know where you are going with this though.

as long as it tucks a little tire im happy. i like heated springs pretty good if they are done right. way stiffer! but i could never do that to a e55. i will not allow myself to do anything half assed on it.
