English?? You're in Santa Barbara! Come on man!

If you're asking what I think you are, NO you cannot use coil overs on the E55.

I don't think you can. I'm thinking that there's more difference to an AMG than just the Airmatics. The mounting points, linkages, control arms may be different as well. Even if you get pass that, you'll still have to mess with the computer so that it doesn't trigger any error codes because your Airmatics, self-leveling, speed-leveling, and pneumatic systems will no longer be sending a signal since those parts are removed.

Sounds too complicated.
