eibach springs in front and cut my stock springs in rear. The rear springs for eibach was too lowered. With the #4 pad in front the car rides like stock no bouncy or hard ride.

Did you mean my or "MBZE55AMG" ??

Regarding my wheels, they are highpolished original AMG wheels from the factory. Ordered that way But maybe I just don't understand the difference between chromed or polished

Those rims look great on a silver car!

I don't see why you would replace them with 19's?

Has that car been lowered with sport springs? Because it appears lower than the standard height....I replaced my #3 pads with #1 pads...and I don't think my E55 sits as low as your car?

Nice looking car the way it is....enjoy!
