W211 Coilover Conversion

I've been reading the posts on here, via search,
And this one in particular https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...step-step.html

So all I need to convert an airmatic W211-E55; are the coilovers with front pillowballs; Rear Control Arms?

Any gaskets or bolts?

And pull fuse 37; and go get the car encoded for steel suspension?
Although some have said not to code it as steel suspension in STAR?

You need the Coilover kit, Rear control arms Lots of patience and pull
The fuse to avoid any codes or code it out with star. Have someone set the ride height if you don't know how and get an alignment boom done deal..

Yes, the sensors for the auto leveling headlights are mounted on the control arms.

if u disable it with star, then no need to pull the fuse...
