Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to install rear springs on an ML320. Any tips or pointers before I try to attempt this on my own? I've changed springs on other cars, but never did one on an ML.
Also, while shopping for springs, I noticed two types of springs for our vehicles (flat and non-flat). Does anyone know what this means or how to tell one from the other?

Thanks!

Bilstein offers a "shock" only for the rear of the "M-class" instead of the coil-over that MB supplies. We have a STRETCHED ML around & they had to have heavier springs made for the rear; so yes lowering should be possible.
