I am thinking of swapping the Airmatic to more standard suspension system...Keeping the wagon for the long haul and want to avoid future Airmatic issue.

For those who have done it...Costly? What suspension setup did you use?

Not looking for full blown adjustable and all. Rather something that can provide a good ride on the sporty side (not bone crushing sport setup!)

Thank you

Arnott sells a coil spring set for the rear for a wagon

I would rather get the set front/rear if there is such an option. I know the weight of the wagon has probably something to do with it.

they make a kit for the front also
it is the same part number as a w211 sedan.

Arnott's Coil Spring Conversion kit C-2278 for the W211 E-Class does not work on the Estate Wagon. It is a weight issue. I believe we are coming out with one for the wagon (with heavier springs) but I don't know what the ETA is.


Note: if you tow anything or often carry larger loads you would want to stick with an air suspension system anyway for the automatic load leveling functionality.

I put Strutmasters in mine and have been very happy. It's definitely cheaper in the long run to switch over as soon as you have your first Airmatic issue, and you don't have to worry about being out on the road and finding your car slammed due to a leak. They sell the W211 AMG kit for about $1,400, and it comes with a module so there are no error codes.

ETA: Okay, not sure if this kit works on the wagon.
