Suspension?
Does this look good to everyone?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=130284003848
I would like to redo my shocks and springs, bushings, etc...while adding a nice drop. My baby is at 79,600 and I think it's time for a smoother, tighter ride! Especially if i'm going to continue modding her, it's smart to get the handling in check first.
NEXT STEP....STAGE 2!! I also see a supercharger in the near future! 
Any thoughts? I've heard Vogtland springs are really good...
Also, where can I located #1 and #2 pads?
Any input will be highly appreciated!
TYIA!

a tighter ride yes, but i don't know about smoother
i don't know about Vogtland springs, but I know H&R springs have different part numbers for the 6 & 8cyl w210's. shoot that seller an email to make sure you're getting the correct ones before purchase.
i've gotten my pads through mercedesshop.com

The ride will be smoother than it is now... lol
I see, but does that package sound nice..price wise? Or should I get the H&R springs? I'll pay if it's worth it.
Thanks for the info fellas! I'll check out mercedesshop.com.
Mark always saves my day! hahaha!

Take care friends! the ebay item say 320, 430 & 55. The W210's have 2 different size shocks are the long & small travel, if you put the long travel on your E55 you get a big BUMP when you drive the car in some irregular street! the largest shocks strike to top.. pay attention to that, bilstein have the 2 models smaller & largest shocks!..
