Lowered with H&R, Need advice
I recently lowered the E, I went with H&R springs in the front and lowering links in the rear. I am very satisfied with the look and handling but not the way the wheels sit. Has anyone done this same set up? I want the wheels to be flush with the body any suggestions on what size spacer to go with?

I ordered 10mm front and 15mm rear. Seemed to be a good place to start, per recommendations from others. I'll receive them in a week or two, along with the KW HAS solution. Can't offer much more than this, but I'm happy to post pics when installed. If it needs more or less, can always swap them out for other sizes.
Looks nice by the way.

I have a question (and please don't take this as incendiary): are you at all concerned about running 10-15mm spacers on a vehicle making that much torque? I was trying to fit some original AMG monoblocks to the wagon, but ultimately abandoned the project since I would have had to run 15mm+ spacers on all corners (square set-up), and was advised by several different (knowledgable) sources to not pursue this for safety reasons.

13-15 rear
its nothing to be worried, my friend told me, your should be concerned only if ordering 30mm+ spacers.

Ride quality
Thanks everyone for the helpful responses. As for the ride quality, it is a bit more stiff. In sport mode its very aggressive and you definitely feel the road more. When in comfort mode the rear raises a little but not much softer. If your pressed on ride quality this is not the set up for you. I got them from advanceperformance.com.

Lowered on kW has springs and links for the rear. 10mm spacers front and 15mm rear.
Springs at lowest setting...as low as they'll go. Was told it may settle a bit lower over next days/weeks.
Links at highest setting.
In comfort mode car sits and rides as I'd like (first three pictures). Parked or in s/s+ its slammed and rides horribly.
Last picture (of only rear wheel) shows car parked after air is purged.
