I have searched on the forums about this topic, but I have not really found anything about removing the SLS on a 95 E320 wagon. I did a search on suspension, and gathered some information. With this information I went ahead and bought Eibach springs and Bilstein HD shocks to replace the SLS. Now the person who works on my car, says that this set-up might not work for the wagon. He says the Bilsteins on the rear are too long, and that I need shorter shocks. Is this true? I thought I read it somewhere that this would work. I guess I was wrong. Hopefully someone with experience can chime in and help me out. Thanks

If you did a search here, you must have run across this quote a dozen times, "fix the SLS". Your car was designed to have a functioning SLS. It is usually the accumulators. I think they are about $137 each. Unless the shocks are leaking, they are typically fine.
