Thanks for your help.

However I have identified a possible ABC-problem. The issue is a guess a very common one when the left front sida of the car is VERY low after being parked for around 12 hours. Display then shows "Stop, car too low".

When I start he car and go throuh the ABC, medium/high the car raises to the apropriate level. I need to fix this before I install any lowering links and put on new wheels.




I can't see any visual leakage of fluid and I hope that it can be fixed without spending +$1500 on new parts.

I will try do have my local shop do whats described in the links below:

Any other suggestions or tips are welcome.

Thanks.

I suggest you find someone with STAR or a clone version and have them print out all codes. Come back here and post the codes. We can help you diagnose and figure out options.

19” is the correct maximum size after my opinion …. you can have it look good while handling is in top …. there’s a reason why AMG had it “born” with 18” ……
lowering module there is only one serious ….. after my opinion: http://www.programainc.com/categorie...gory=5009&cl=1

you don't get it cheapper than this ..... thanks cal1

I agree about 19s max and lower module over links... but are you sure the one you linked is compatible? It says for mercedes air suspension, abc is hydraulic.

+3 on the max of 19" wheels. The 20" wheels do look really nice but come with a serious performance penalty as well as the risk for wheel damage.

Ok, status is like this.

- Received the lowering links from the UK.
- Purchased the camber bolts from MB, they where like €70 for the 4 bolts, 2 on each side.

The problem with the ABC system is absolutely still there, but the last days it has not been any lowering at all after 12 hours parking. Going to to change oil and try do to as those DIY-threads and the youtube video to try do eliminate it.

Well, the wheels are not ordered yet... But I'm 95% sure I will go for Vossen CV3-R's but can't decide on what version. Either the CV3-R Metallic Gloss Silver or the Gloss Graphite? Seems like the version with Metallic sides and black "interior" is discontinued.

Does someone have a picture of the a back wheel fitted with 305/25-20 tires on a 10,5x20 rim I would be glad if you posted it. Can't decide between 285/295/305 on the 10,5.

Please, what's your opinion?

Just received my Vossen CV3's.

Put on my existing 245/35's on the 9 inch fronts just to for reference, here is what it looked like.

I feel confident that my decision to choose 255/30 is the best option, will arrive tomorrow with the 295/25 in the back.

The car will be lowered today or tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to put on the carbon front lip spoiler från Gary also, pictures later this week, I'm really exited.

Ok, new wheels on.

Will pick up the car later today, got a sneak picture from the shop owner. I'm very pleased with the looks even if the picture is of bad quality.

Also installed the carbon front lip spoiler from Gary, was easy to do.
