2002 E430 4Matic (w210)
Smile Lowering options for a E430 4matic 2002

Hey guys, I just bought a 2002 fully loaded E430 4matic sedan.. I love this car so much but the ride height is just a little much for me. What are my options for lowering the height of the car about 1 inch. I dont want to slam it or anything just lower it a tad. I here its hard with the 4matics but I want to see what some people have to say. Thanks!!

You may have to cut your springs, people generally don't recommend that.

Shouldn't have bought a 4-matic if you wanted to lower it.

You may want to try asking in the regular W210 section. This section is only for the AMG cars.
