as for the how-to: do an initial startup in stardiagnose on the airmatic module, lower the car within spec, make sure that the angles are punched in in the next screen...make sure that the listed levels and angles are all within spec and SAVE these settings - good luck.

I have sold many Lowering Kits to people that have had there vehicle lowered by Star. They all say the same thing. For some reason it returns back to the stock height after time. With my Links its cheaper, fully adjustable, vehicle can be returned back to stock and you still got the kit to sell if you decide to get rid of the vehicle.
