cant lower a 4matic? I cant find springs, can you?
I have a 1998 E320 4matic ....

 

check the W210 forum at mbworld. someone there (two, actually) has received theirs the past month or so.

 

the only thing i found in mbworld. forum is this......................[/align]somebody know where i can buy thoose springs????????[/align]i search on ebay of germany and is no 4matic spring for sale anymore [/align]If somebody knows something please let me know[/align]J-f[/align][/align][/align]-------------------[/align]-------------[/align]
I spoke with a rep. at Brabus USA and he said the fact that they made these springs for the W210 is a myth, however, I did not speak with Anthony, who has been quoted saying that Brabus did make these springs. I also spoke with a rep. in Florida, and they don't even carry any products for the W210 whatsoever, so he was no help.

I found these springs on ebay.de, however I do not speak German.

Someone on this forum mentioned the front axle passing through the spring? this is FALSE. Looking at my car this spring looks like a standard coil spring, which is just shorter in length as compared to the rear. I found these on ebay.de and am close to making the purchase.. Any comments?

Search continues...[/align]--------------------[/align]---------------[/align]--------------[/align][/align][/align]Hey I got the springs and with just a quick visual inspection they look like there gonna fit. The front ones are just shorter since the axle passes beneath them. My new issue is finding SHOCKS! I wanted to run Bilstein HD but cant find them for a 4Matic, I would rather not resort to running stock shocks with the Brabus springs.

Also, the ends of these springs are not flat, they are open coil style (which is nice if I would like to cut them to do more of a drop) Does anyone know where I can find a spring pad with a contour to match the end of the spring?

Oh and my total cost for springs was about $300, it was like $170 + for s&h[/align]

 

the advertised lowering only amounts to .75" or so. why not see if you have spring pads
and if so, just swap these out for the thinnest ones. I've not had to change suspension
in a 4matic so not as familiar with that design as I do the std E320.

how about in the rear? are the springs/shocks of coilover design as well? (same as front?)
