Having owned a late model Lincoln Towncar with a self leveling rear end, I would imagine the lowering procedure would be similar. Remove and/or disconnect the self leveling apparatus, and apply the appropriate lowering springs, shocks, and pads (#1 R; #2 F?). Good luck.

I Installed H/R sport springs Front AND Rear on my W210 Estate as they do Not have a listing for the E55 Estate..as the Estate has Springs on the rear..just uses Self level Rear shocks So the E55 SEDAN Springs WILL Fit AND Work

I Also used #1 Pads

That makes sense.

ok...iv heard of people who heav put the sedan springs into the estate...and they work fine...the only difference is the weight,,,,,,,but iv have also heard even if you got the lowered springs in the rear the car still lifts to its self leveling height.......so how do you avoid that?????

thanks for the advice guys

If the front in lowered, then wouldn't that produce an equivalent lower height level at the rear? Also, should the latter not apply, is it possible that the self leveling component is adjustable?
