Two friends owned that car haha. It’s a really good one. Has good options and great color too. I put the coilovers on it as well. I wish I had the space to keep it around that is a really well maintained car.

I think right before my friend sold it the first time he changed the lifters with brand new ones. That car is so solid.

Another great info video! Thx Do you know what the stock w210 E55 spring pad heights are so I can calculate which ones to order without taking them out first? I kinda just want to do the rears to take our the rake and level the car. Any suggestions on where to rent or purchase the spring compressor tool?

The stock pads on E55s are usually 3 all around. I would buy the spring compressor tool from eBay or Amazon. They have them for $100-$150

Definitely very helpful and still need to do mine! lol Just curious why'd you go from 3 to 5? 3 looks just about right. Btw you coming through this Sunday's Motor 4 Toys? Come through bro.

I wanted more height to be able to level the car. If I went lower in the front I would have to go super low in the back and I’m not willingly to deal with the increased risk of scraping the car. I won’t be able to make it on Sunday.
