The Renntech Online store sells a lowering kit for almost every year of Mercedes this kit is for that year and should help I know I'm 4 years late but, just in case anybody was still looking. https://renntechmercedes.com/index.p...s-class-detail
E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
I have it....
and the Renntech kit is nicely made....but the rate is still way too high for US roads. The problem really is the shock valving, which we can do nothing about. (Stupid cheap Monroes).
I have not ridden on them because they are always out of stock, but my understanding is that the KW kit for this car is much more pleasant. Someone else will chime in I"m sure.... .
Hi, i've been lurking in the forums for a couple of years now and finally pulled the trigger on modding my e63 after 6 yrs of ownership. Just wanted to post pics and info for future "lurkers" like me who gain a wealth of information just by reading through the forums. Many thanks to all who post and provide their input. This forum has helped me make right educated decisions on my maintenance and modifications. Thank you all!
Car sits on KW HAS with still few threads left to lower.
Still using the OEM 19in wheels with 10mm spacers up front and 12mm spacers at the back. Have not experienced rubbing at all.
As said in numerous threads here the KW HAS really rides like stock. Car actually feels more "sure footed" and not bouncy at all. I normally run in comfort mode.
Thanks again to the whole community for helping me figure out how to do this build properly!
Just picked up a 16 e63 wagon and looking for the lowest possible option without going bags.
H&R are the highest so no go.
k&w 1.4" with links for the rear are about $1000
renntech fronts 1.575" with DLM is about $2350
RT seem the best option but not sure it's worth an extra $1300 but hate having to readjust the links manually...
any inputs or are the kw with links the best bang for the buck.
Definitely go KW HAS kit and you won’t regret it. You can adjust the height to your likings and it works with the OEM stiffness options such as comfort and sport and sport plus mode.
I went with KW HAS. Also wanted to go as low as possible. Turned out front springs went way lower than needed - front wheels were too tucked in already.
Can't quite figure how the DLM can be useful since front springs need to be manually adjusted. You'll end up with electronically adjustable rear height only, then you'll have to manually adjust the front height anyway.
