Is it possible to install Coil overs on A E63 AMG ?

Hi guys ~

Just wondering if its possible to install coilovers like KW-V3 , Billstein PSS10 and

H&R . I noticed 63 has air shocks so I am thinking installation procedure may be

different. Also do E63 has swaybars????

Is it possible to change the firmness of airmatic 2 setting by altering cars system

via program.

God I'm asking so many questions .!! Thank you in advance !!!

Search for coilovers. It's the same as the E55.

KW has a V2 kit for $2100. This is what I will do if the airmatic were to ever let go.

Yes, you have VERY LARGE sway bars.

As for changing the airmatic, I have heard nothing on this forum that suggests it is possible. Going with a Performance Package (030/P30) resulted in an airmatic setup with 40-50% stiffer bound and rebound settings.

I know Arnott is suppose to be coming out with a kit but I didn't know KW had one already. I wish I had known that about a month ago before I replaced some Crapmatic parts.

Do you have a link for the KW kit?

The P/N for the w211 KWv2 is 15225005. But you're also going to need other parts for the car to do the install (OEM MBZ). It's not just the coils.

I had my conversion done over at AutoTalent and they were able to give me better pricing on the kit than I could find anywhere else. (310) 231-7800

How much did they charge you for the installation.??

Also I'm looking at V3s fully adjustable.

How is the ride after switching it from airmatic to oil shocks.
