E55 suspension fit E430?
Got a chance to buy a complete 2000 E55 suspension at a good deal includes: shocks, springs, sway bars. Will this suspension bolt right up to my 2000 E430 Sport? I will probably keep the Eibach springs I have. Any advice or experiences?
THANKS!

No problem upgrading the E55 suspension to your E430. Are you referring to the entire E55 suspension on EBAY for about $475:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1806876892 This is at least the 2nd time at auction. Previously $800 or so.

Kevin,
Yes, that is the suspension I saw on ebay. Guy can't sell it. $475 seems very reasonable to me. I cannot use the springs, because I have Eibachs, but would love to install the Bilsteins and sway bars.

Go for it! I would contact him directly and he avoids the Ebay seller fees - I beleive. You can donate the springs to me. I will put them to good use. Thanks.

Are the Eibach springs better than the E55 springs?

I don't know if the Eibach's are better than the E55's, I'm pretty sure the Eibach's are shorter. My car sits lower front and back than a stock E55.

Hey MikeyE430,
I thought you were going to bid and buy on that full AMG suspension on Ebay? Did you change your mind. $475 for the entire set is a good price.

E55 suspension
Kevin,
I just bought the suspension. Got it for less than eBay. Just hope and pray it fits my E430 OK. So, you traded your black E430? You got a 2002 E55 coming? WOW! Do you know where I can get a rear camber kit? THANKS!

Congratulations on the E55 Suspension! I should get the E55 on Tuesday. You are already running the lowest spring pad I believe. Sorry, never heard of an W210 rear camber kit. Who makes it? What's it for? Is it needed to correct problems when the car is radically lowered?

Yes, I am running the thinnest front pad there is. And yes, the camber kit is so you can adjust some of the negative camber out of the rear. The only thing that is adjustable with the stock suspension is toe. The only place I can find one is thru RennTech and it is $495! OUCH!
Congrats on the E55. It is truly one of my dream cars. Let us know all about it. I assume you will post on your website?

E55 Suspension
Kevin and others:
I received the E55 suspension today. Got 4 AMG Bilstein shocks, 4 springs, and 2 solid sway bars. Guy in CA couldn't sell them on eBay! I got everything for $450 shipped! Going to install on my E430. Contacted Status Imports-they offered me a fairly nice discount on the Renntech camber kit. Will keep you posted. That E55 of yours here yet?
