I think what your doing is FINE. As stated above they were a little harsh. I dont think anyone is going to give much for a car with 345k miles on the clock so mod till your hearts content! A car is to be individualized, imho, to seperate you from everyone else. I think your selection is fine.
I have H&R(lower of the two sets they offer),#1 pads all around and Bilstein sports and it rides a little rough but its fine for me. I also have 18" genuine AMG Mono II's and had to roll the fenders ever so slightly so I think if your backspacing is correct you should not have a problem. THe Eibachs ride a little higher than the H&R and give a more comfortable ride(I had Eibachs on my 190E 2.6). I do have slight wear issues but its not too bad and once I install the K-Mac kit(I have had it for more than a year lol) I dont see any further problems. I have 500e headlights with crystal corners on mine as well as a Genuine AMG Gen II front bumper and love the look and people still ask what year the car is and cant believe its as old as it is. You have a timeless design on your hands. Have fun and just be tasteful and dont ghetto it out.
