Ride height on w211

[Phantomheart]

My rear ride height seems a bit high, I have no idea is it suppose to look like that or there's a problem with the height sensor or something?

S211 means estate.
Tbh the rear looks ok, the front looks low. I'll compare to ours later when Mrs Me returns from gathering the Guinness tokens.

As said, on the facelift post 2006 at least, these have rear air suspension.
Have you checked the front springs haven't popped?

Had it had a coil spring conversion?

The front has been lowered because it was very high when I got it and the rear is air suspension yes

Nope, the rear is air suspension the front is springs

Yes it has been

Yes it has been

I've got Airmatic on both front and back, every time it's serviced or MOT'd, I get it back and it appears to be sitting higher than before it went in. After a while it appears to settle back down to it's original stance. I'd assumed these garage lift thing were extending the airbags and after some time they revert to their normal positions?

It's been a while since it has gone on the lift but it's the lowest it goes naturally it doesn't settle lower :/

It is higher but it doesn't go down lower on itself

Ok, mine usually takes a week or two to settle down.
