Should I lower my E55...

Like I have my wagon lowered?


I am thinking my E55 needs to sit lower.... Much lower.

1980s, as in 1980, or 1980s, as in 1980-1989.

You should definitely lower the whatever it is. Not only that, you should lower it as close to the ground as possible and be sure to get bids on the work and take the highest bid. Don't forget to get their cool window sticker after the job is done. And don't forget to hit every speed bump you can at a speed that is unreasonable for stock height cars and then get really indignant about it. It's a serious issue. Lowered cars make wimmin' all warm and squishy and make other men insanely jealous.

Arrow Take a month's vacation

NO !!!!!

Leave it alone, don't lower it.

Your car is already optimally configured by AMG.

Spend your money instead on a trip to Germany !!!

Go to the AMG factory in Bavaria this year. Spend heavily in the gift shop if there is one.

Get an International driving license.


Take the AMG driving course at their driving academy..

Mercedes-AMG Official Global Website

Then rent an E55 and do some hot laps on the Nurburgring!

Go take it on the Autobahn to Berlin.


Take it over the Swiss Alps and onto the Autostrada in Italy!

It would be the vacation of a life time. Just do it!

If a properly engineered handling package results in a lower stance, then by all means, lower away. Otherwise, lowering is just an expensive way to reduce your car's resale value and ruin its handling and appearance. Unless you are an extraordinary seat-of-the-pants engineer, I don't see how you can expect to match the expertise of companies like AMG.
