Nice 55 and great list of mods

I have a flint grey as well with Evosport pulleys, tune, and Quaife LSD. As I'm sure you know, the E55 is on air from factory, just not bagged in the aftermarket sense. You can buy a lowering module & drop it as much as you want.

I have the Carlsson lowering module on mine and actually have another one for sale in the classifieds section if you are interested.

Congrats and enjoy it in good health

It already has an air suspension. Why do you want to go aftermarket?

Call Tal at ACG San Diego. He had one with some type of air system, was a REAL pain in the *** to achieve but he did.. Car has been sold to somebody else, but he can definitely give the right info on the system.. Good luck.

Definitely do not bag it. The e55 already has a pretty complex electrical system and that only adds more draw and creates more issues. Honestly if you want a bagged and wheeled car, a 500+whp e55 is not the car.

Also, that car is granite grey.

Thanks all yes i did buy it from another member on here. I see there are some.modules but if i drive the car on a low daily then the crappy bags will just fail and constantly have to be replaced.. and i hate how long it takes to lower and raise it self.

The basic kit says '03-09 E-class, excluding airmatic. The E55 has airmatic.

I've had my Renntech lowering module set at 1.25" of drop for 30,000 miles and haven't had a single issue. My alignment is setup for cornering so I eat tires like nobodies business but looks great lowered.

I guess i was just looking for a faster raise in lower and hight ajustment. But i guess there really isnt a solution for that.. i will go with the link addin and a software to adjust it even more.. do u guys knw where i can buy the links from?

are you looking to go low or just want the ability to go up and down fast? If you want to go low you can switch over to Coilovers the car will ride good and have zero reliability issues. If you want to do Custom Air you can do it but a good set up will run you close to $5000 Parts+Labor
