1994 E420 Help

Need info. / help on the coil spring shims / spacers. My car is lowered and handles like crap so I am trying to get some of the camber adjustments back.

What I wanted to know is what is the stock or factory spacer / shim for this car? I have noticed that the spacer has a little nipple on it and they seems to range from one to four. I bought the car lowered so I do not know exactly what was done to it. The shim I have on the car now is a one which should be the smallest one.

Would replacing the shim to say a three or a four raise it enough to get some alignment adjustability back?

My second question is about aftermarket springs. Say if I bought the Eibach pro sport springs which lower the car 1.3", would this be installed below the factory shims?

Any help would be appreciated as I would like to get my car on the road.

Right now the car sits pretty low, but I don't know if it has aftermarket springs or not. The shocks appear to be the factory ones and so do the springs but I am not for sure.

Would it be possible to lower the car that much just by replacing the smallest or thinnest shim?

Thanks for any help,

Andy
