There was a member doing the conversion on his wagon but not sure on his progress...

Cheers mate, that's what I needed.
I have a E55 wagon so if you happen to find a link to wagon coilover conversion it would be greatly appreciated

OCKlasse

I doubt you wagon guys will be able to do a full conversion, as the rear suspension is different for the wagons, and I'm sure there probably isn't enough demand for these companies to build a kit.

This guy does say the H&R kit fits the wagon, so maybe?

tooFATtoDRIVE

Any chance of a link to this build?

I know I've said this before but your CL is INCREDIBLE I actually hate the look of that CL era but yours with that color combo and just the overall look changed my mind completely considering a car can potentially look like that

help!!! my wife's w211 2003 e500 sport airmatic passenger front and rear gone...I am considering buying the d2 racing rs coilovers or the ksport kontrol pro from ebay, this is what I can afford as of now and i WILL never go back to the OEM AIRMATIC cash cow.. any thoughts and advice. thanks

OCKlasse

Thanks!

no love for the newbie

Not sure she'll like the coilovers if she's been used to the comfort of airmatic. Fronts struts can be had from Arnott Industries and rear can be sourced either on eBay or used parts dealers.

If you are going to do the CO's KSport D2 or KW are good CO's to go with.

rolimpo

thanks for reply grantwoodtx! I have replace 2 airmatics in the passed already one's from arnott and one's from mercedes under warranty and I will not go back to the air suspension ever again. i have discuss this with the wife and she's on board for the conversion. I am placing order today.

2.2k this is a great price!

Are any of the airmatic parts worth selling after the conversion is done?

justinwrock

No, unless they are fairly new parts.

spinn

Cool. How long was it in the shop for? Which shop? Any parts that were not used from the shopping list? Is the Star programming simply choosing the non airmatic setting? Look forward to pics.

Actually you can get about $150-$200 per strut/shock if you sell them on ebay. That'll give you back about $600+ which is pretty darn good. I've even seen people get $1,000+ for their used parts ( in total ).

What did you do the computer for the airmatic to prevent alarms. Also did you remove the air compressor?

spinn

On the D2's for the rear, are the springs separate from the strut?

grantwoodtx

CGW needs to be set to Steel Suspension and on my conversion I removed the compressor and removed the relay for the airmatic system.

spinn

What coilovers did you use?
