I Have a 2000 W210 Estate with a Few Mods...
It didnt drive as good as expected so I Installed a Set of AMG E55 Sway bars front and rear.. Set of H/R Sport Springs with #1 Spring pads..Front Bilstein (SPORT) shocks as the rear is self level then a set of AMG E55 18s with 245/275 for tires
The Wagon handles FLAT on the Corners ...It Does VERY Good for a Wagon!
Out Handles a Lot of the cars out there
As for the Wallow/Floating I would say its the Side Walls on the tires as tall tires will do this (60series) The 18s Did Firm Up the Ride on the Wagon..But its still ok Per the wife....She has AMG 19s Multipiece rims on her W211
Sway bars will NOT affect the ride quality...just Improve the handling
The Shocks WILL Firm up the Ride
Short Sport Springs WILL Firm up the Ride..If You Dont want to go low try EURO AMG E55 WAGON Springs
And When You Lower it (IF You lower it) One WILL Need Mercedes Front repair bolts for camber adjustment X4
For the rear camber is NOT adjustable so I bought a set of adjustable camber bars from Speedybenz ..No More rear tire wear problems
BTW mercedes Did NOT make a SPORT or Sport Line W210 wagon/estate only the AMG E55 Wagon/Estate
