How to lower 2012 CLS63 AMG?

I have read that it cannot be done with just reprogramming. Where can I buy what is needed? I am in the South - far from LA but not far from Atlanta. Please help me.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Rear will have to be lowered via STAR, lowering module, or lowering links.
Front will have to be lowered via coil-over or lowering springs.

Where can I buy the correct lowering module, links, and springs/coilovers?

Look to Brabus for lowering springs. They have a pair specifically for the C218 CLS63.
Supposedly, KW has a working coil-over for the front suspension, but not sure if it is even for sale yet.

For the rear, I think lowering modules being used are not specific to the C218.
Shops lowering via ELMs are using the same ones that have been available for all airmatics in the past (Renntech, Brabus, Carlsson) but just applying them to the rear (for obvious reasons).
