Hey Junaidi,

My father has owned several E classes and I used to drive E classes as cab/taxi as well. These cars were all on standard european shocks and springs and they were a lot less nervous as the C class.
I can imagine that 9,5J wide rims with 265 tires make an E class wander in every possible direction (that is not the size for a common family saloon...). Wide rims with tires increase every possible negative effect of the car's original suspension...

You are definitely not the only one with this problem and I will surely post a thread whenever I have conquered this nervous behavior of the car. I never had anything like this with my lowered (springs only) W201 190D.

greetingz(s),
