Is the stock 02' E55 springs lower than stock 00' E320?
Hi all,
Is the stock 02' E55 springs lower than stock 00' E320?
if so How much lower is it?
I'm considering getting the stock E55 springs for my E320.
thanks

yes, it is lower but not by very much. Here is what my 2001 E320 looked like with E55 springs...
also, be sure to use #1 spring pads all around

how much lower is that? and did you chang your shocks as well?
I'm looking for about 1" drop only.....
also, luke from tire rack said that if I get the E55 springs, it will actually raise the car because the E55 springs are meant to support the V8...

Luke is wrong. The drop isn't much, but it is lower.

KWik, Your ride looks sweet!
should I go Eibach springs($265 new)? or should I just get the E55 springs on Ebay (only $80)... ?
All I want is about 1" drop.
I don't plan to replace the shocks yet.

If I was doing another E, I would probably get Vogtland or Eibach springs with Koni adjustable shocks. This way I could just change pads if I decided I wanted a little more drop.
