E220 Coupe lowering issue

[fezbwoy]

Hi all,

Just bought my second Merc after my 190E Cossie was stolen last week. Picked up a E220 Coupe that had been lowered by 50mm.

That might be ok if you live in the country but in central London I'm grinding the underside every 5 minutes.

I'm getting original springs fitted next week but with my custom 17's is it going to look like a tractor?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Nice.

Hi and welcome to the forum.That car is nice,what did you pay for it?
I only ask as It was addvertised a while back with the same pic for 2300 and now the price has gone up

Those wheels are crap,give them to me

Might be better going for a spring with an "intermediate" setting such as the Mercedes Sportline. Normal ride height springs might just be too high for those wheels. You could always fine tune up or down with different depth spring pads.

Thanks mate - what I'd really like is to lower by 10-20mm. Enough for the wheels to look ok but it still be practical. Any ideas? Sportline just seem to do 30mm??

Sportline are 20mm lower than standart set up
