eibach lowering springs W211 estate

[r4rick]

anyone fitted these to a 320cdi avant guard ?, I'm thinking about it, as to my eye the front sits a little high on standard set up.

Get the complete kit with matching dampers. You could unseat a spring if you retain the std dampers

The 211 estate's have got air suspension in the rear , so theres no springs at the rear . The rear would have to be lowered via STAR or using an adjustable linkage rod . The other option would be to remove the rear air springs and fit steel springs .

Hi R4rick. Did you ever lower the car? I am just about to do my 320 cdi avantgarde estate too. I'm doing eibach pro kit with bilstein B6 dampers.

 

[E55 in waiting]

do they all have air suspension, and if so is it then an option to have the front as well?

It's only air suspension on the rear as standard.

If you had air suspension on the front you would have a button next to the parking sensors button near the gearstick.

W211 E320 cdi av estate eibach and bilstein

Had the front springs and dampers done by my specialist ( Borthwick and Malloch in Glasgow) Car is totally transformed. Not sitting too low. Lowered the rear with STAR. The ride is super smooth and the body control is amazing.

How much has that cost, including parts and labour?

You can get cheaper shocks sachs for example but the Bilsteins are awesome on this big heavy car. No roll at all with the springs and the shocks control the cars movements and weight so well. Above all it rides beautifully.
