suspension -- W124 lowering

Quote:
300E's don't have an adjustable rear suspension so if you lower the car too much you will cause uneven wear on the inside of the rear tires. There is a kit to fix this but it goes for around $500 or so. Look at the 'Sportsline' suspension upgrade that mercedesshop.com sells, it is the factory sports suspension and it does lower the car a bit.<br> <br> hope this helps you...
Lowering can be done with aftermarket springs (Eibach, H&R, etc). The amount of lowering depends on the spring pad you use -- you can even get about 1/2" to 3/4" lowering (even with OEM springs) just by changing spring pads.

Contact an experienced MBZ suspension shop, ideally someone familiar with aftermarket parts (note: this is typically NOT a dealer).

The first link has ongoing discussion on all aspects of Mercedes Benz (you probably have this one already)

The other two links offer camber correction kits at about the same price.
