who above said you could stagger a 4matic,you can't-- different traction from staggered set up will throw the 4matic into fits.Change the pads to the #1 and that will drop it a bit.Custom coil overs is about the only set up that I have seen.Cha ching

if you did find springs how would you compensate for the shorter travel on the special 4matic shocks?They would bottom out.
might have a solution

or find a euro spec E55 4matic I think they made them in europe market in 99.
