Performance Springs for W211 E55 with airmatic?
Hey! I am getting my car track-ready and I'm looking to lessen the amount of body roll, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for performance springs? I do have the Airmatic suspension and it seems like most springs I've found have not been available for cars equipped with airmatic. Ultimately, I wouldn't mind if the springs lower my car by an inch or so either. Thanks in advance for the help! I really appreciate it!

you will need to get a coil over suspension and remove all the airmatic struts. about 600 dollars worth of related suspensions parts will need to be changed and the car has to be coded to steel suspension. quite a few members have done this.

A member here got his car lap ready by lowering it using links and biggest change he said that improved his handling was putting 255/40 in the front . He said it improved the handling by "a lot"
Maybe getting a Limited slip differential as well
not sure if it helps with cornering or not though.
What tires you planning to put on ?
