Re.: 1999 E300D

Any have an idea? I am getting ready to do a spring swap (H&R -> Eibach) and need to be prepared. The people at Eibach say I will not need any spring pads with their springs. Is this possible

The previous owner of my car reports that he used #5 pads in the front and #2 pads in the rear to level the car and do a minor height adjustment. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for all possibilities.

Thx.
