Which way would you drop the car and why (besides cost difference)? Is there a ride difference between the two?

Traffic53

you're asking if you should get the links or use the module for the rear...as you need to get springs for the front either way.

the links trick the computer; the module changes the computer values to accomplish the same goal. i chose the module after the links were not behaving in the wagon. the module is adjustable, but the links are less so.

ride quality is similar.

Guys do yourself the biggest favor ever. Order W212 E350 front springs for $200 or less from your MB dealer and call it a day. 1" drop and rides like stock. Can't beat it! Rear self adjusts and the car looks and driver perfectly.

Have you done this? Sounds way too simple. Anyone have pix of car with this mod?

Why would you want to put springs that are meant for a V6 on an AMG car?

Seems like a total ghetto way to lower your car and give you inferior performance.

MikeyE430

Yeah, thats my thinking too....but who knows?

I ordered hr springs for e63 and will install tomorrow. Ill update this thread

I used the E350 springs on my 2010 E63- way back where there wasnt KW coils for the front or E63 springs--- the weight difference is about 200 lbs (nothing) and thats for the overall car. It actually worked very well and I didnt lose too much function for the form gain.

I drove the car hard and had great stability. Here is the car dropped:



Now obviously this was back in 2010 and now there are better options for the same pricing like E63 springs Duh!!!!!

As for the rear just use adjustable links- once you have your height set you wont be adjusting it so the module is a waste. The car will ride the same if you set the same height with the module or links since its the suspension that creates the ride feel.

Would love to see what it looks like.

Still dont buy that you cant tell the difference between and E63 front springs and E350, unless MBZ is just blowing sunshine up our *** about AMG performance.

Vic55

They arent, I am........ LOL

I owned the car- drove it stock with the "AMG" and then with the E350 springs. As with all cars that are lowered the suspension geometry changed and it was less than optimal. But lets face it an E63 is a 2 ton plus pig car and not a canyon carver per se. The 350 springs did just fine for me- but I drive my cars very hard in straights and turns so a vagina foot might even enjoy the 350 springs better.

I did this, like I said above, when there wasnt E63 HR Springs. Im sure the spring rates are slightly different but by how much? The E350 and E500 W212 benzes do not weigh that much less than the AMG counterpart.

Installed hr springs for e63 on front and rear links. Car rides a little stiffer but not by much, you feel the bumps a little more than with stock. Roads here in NY are horrible so that does not help either. All in all i am happy with the look and ride. I did the installation and it is pretty straight forward. Pretty easy dyi.

I also dropped my car on H&R's + links yesterday, I have to raise the rear back up a bit, but even this low the rear has no rubs at all with 295's

vdubpower

Looks good. Quite low tho

How's the ride

Chris05STi

Rides just a bit stiffer then stock

MikeyE430

Where can we buy these rear links please?

Nanook

I used links..at 4 corners on my ML63..for the following reasons
-cheaper than a module
-I saw quite a few people trying to sell off modules that gave me a sense they were not that great
-read many posts where modules became confused and didn't work properly
-links are fairly easy to adjust/tweak and simple to remove back to stock
