2001 Mercedes Benz E320T

This is my 2001 E320T with AMG front and rear bumper covers, AMG side skirts, AMG stainless door sill covers, add-on factory xenon lights and W211 alloy wheels (9x18 rear with Kuhmo SPX 265/35 and 8x18 front with 235/40). It has Bilstein Sport front shocks, stock rear SLS, H&R front and rear bars and bushings and has been lowered with H&R springs, 4 bump front and 3 bump rear spring pads. I did not replace any other suspension bushings since I felt that my '01 E55 rode too harsh. This car handles and tracks very well and is a good compromise of ride (still firm but compliant) and handling. I also have ready to install a Lorinser rear wing (not gaudy) but am undecided as to doing the install without the addition of an E55 driveline and exhaust to match! Since this was first posted I have worn out the Kuhmo's and a set of Sumitomo HTR ZIII and still seeking a high performance tire that lasts longer than 15K miles. I definitely need to get the front and rear negative camber in check to keep from bleeding $$$ for new rubber every year. I also had to replace the front antisway bar rubber mounts that connect the front bar to the frame because the H&R mount (MB two piece sport mount pn 2103231785) wore through and caused a hideous clunk. I replaced it with the non-split mount (pn 1403231085) and believe this will be a longer term solution. Mark
