H&R/Eibach Spring Ok For Stock Springs On GLE???

Hi Guys!

I just recently got my GLE Max like 1 month ago. Almost 6K miles on it already. I hate that wheel gap like most of you guys. Just wondering, would just getting the H&R or Eibach Springs work fine with my stock shocks on my GLE? Would their be any issues with this setup? Would the H&R or Eibach be better?

Thanks!

Well the Eibachs are a stiffer ride. H&Rs drop a tad lower than the Eibachs but are also said to have very stock like ride.

How much of a drop do H&Rs give? How much do they cost?

I just ordered H&R springs from www.shox.com for 219 + shipping. They are supposed to lower the front 1.4 and the back 1.3. We'll see soon.

Check out Progress Springs. They go even lower than H&R/Eibachs.

MadxKilla, are you running stock shocks or aftermarket? im also tryin to decide which spring i need to get, and if i can use my stock shocks with whatever i DO get, cause im kinda short on cash right now and cant exactly afford a new shock+spring combo.

How is the ride on your H&R's compared to the stock. I've been pulling my hair out trying to decide between the H&R's and progress.
