wondering why you want to lower it. its not all that high as it is. i think the amg suspension is a bit lower though. and there is no shortage of money hungry fabricators in this country who im sure wouldnt mind making something to work on a late model benz...

Do you have ABC suspension?
If so, we have Intrax springs available. Provides 0.9" drop front and rear.

your car use air suspension.

the only way to lower it is by entering false data during the height calibration.

star diagnosis computer is needed. about 1 hour job.

yes your car got airmatic suspension control module. that's where the data are sent about the height, pressure, damping, etc.

anyway, what they say is more complicated. if you want the easy way, just cheat the level sensor.
this will give the right signal to the control module as ideal ride height attained, yet it's still a bit lower as to your liking.

quick and easy to put back to it's original position too.
