Need Suspension help asap on my '12 CLS63
Hey guys!
So I recently used an SDS system to try to lower the rear of my 2012 CLS63 AMG a tad more to match the front set up (H&R). When I completed the job, the car looked AMAZING! I noticed that the suspension button on the interior was stuck on Sport Mode. (one light). It was no longer adjustable. I was ok with this.
Fast forward 5 days
The car gets LOWER and LOWER and LOWER, and no air gets put into the suspension to compensate. It is like the air suspension was deactivated. When I lowered it with SDS it was "out of range" according to MB Specs, but it still allowed the car to sit in such a low level.
Has anyone experienced this?
I am taking the car to MB of Miami tomorrow to have them hopefully put the car back to stock specification in the rear. I ordered adjustable links from adjustableairride.com for the rear and plan on installing those.
So my question to all you suspension guru's:
1. Will it be easy to get the car back to stock specs using SDS
2. How do I install the links on both sides?
3. Do you think anything was damaged?
Thanks in advance.

2. only same length(!) at the same time
3. if you drop your ride to low and suspension will think that car is in normal height just think which damages can be.

I have found the airmatic on the M157's to be different than the M156 or E55 engines... I would use the stationary links- no issues with the car changing height and you can use all your suspension choices inside.
I used the KW set up on both my CLS and E Wagon.
