I got them on my 04 230SS. Drop is only about 1"-1.5". You'll get more of a drop with H&R or others. Ride is pretty good w/adjustable Koni's

i bought ones and got them installed on my W208 Clk320, results are astonishing. it lowered the vehicle about 1.2 in front and rear. you can feel the car is stiffer but not annoyant, i say go for it!

E320
Springs
Koni, H&R, or Eibach? I'm looking for improvements in handling, yet still keeps the ride comfort. Any suggestions? I drive a E320 sedan and have Bilstein Sport Shocks ont he way. Just need to decide which springs to get.

If I'm not mistaken,there's a thread from Luke @ Tirerack and he states Eibachs give the most compliant ride,while the others lower a bit more and may be more stiff

I'd go with Eibachs. THey are much more ride friendly than H&R. You can always shave them a little if you want a lower look and the ride is still good. H&R's are too bouncy ( stiff ). here is a pic of my E with Eibach's with 1/2 coil chopped in the front and the ride was great!!
