New to forum - Suspension Upgrade

Hello - New to this forum. Have a 2012 CLS63AMG and absolutely love it. Looking to give the suspension a little more aggressive look without hacking it up but also reasonably. Heard about the Renntech kit but wanted to see the opinions of others more experienced than me. Thanks in advance!---Dan

A cheaper alternative would be to buy an OBD lowering module

The 2012 CLS63 has coil springs up front so this won't work.

This is totally a noob question but the H.A.S. kit has front coils only. How does it lower the rear? Do you need some sort of override module on the airbags?

Coil sleeves and springs for the front. Adjustable links for the rear.

Unless you’re trying to slam it, the H&R springs + LL have worked fine for me. People have said that it makes the ride poor but I couldn’t tell much a difference at all. For the price and my application...it was a no-brainer
