The only time you can feel the ride difference is over bumps and pot holes and the difference is not that much. When I compare the ride to the stock 1995 E320 it is almost identical. It's hard to tell the difference in the ride it is stiffer and the steering is more responsive and I dont think there is as much body roll. I would recommend a set, but keep in mind I still have the stock wheels and stock tire size. I love the lowered E420 especially the
way it looks. Now putting them on is anator story we did it without a spring compressor.

I used Eibach.

great post. After reading pluses and minuses, I am going to pull the trigger on a set of H&Rs for the W210. My buddy found a broken spring up front when doing an alignment. He suggested I look into a set of aftermarket springs as he had success with them on a couple of his Benz's.

I will report back.
