Why not just lower it via Star Diagnostics? Save money, its completely reversible and wont void the warranty.

Star Diagnostics Lowering is where the voltage is lowered for each wheel. The voltage is lowered through the Star Diagnostics computer that MBenzNL, or your dealer has. The nice thing about Star Diagnostics lowering is that it does not requiere any splicing or cutting of wires to hook these "modules" up. The great thing is that the whole procedure can be done in a matter of minutes.

The dealer here in Puerto Rico said they will only install a Renntech Module if not they would eliminate my warranty! So I imagine each dealer has a different policy.

contact MBenzNL here on our boards. They do a fantastic job and Steve is a stand up guy. I had mine done by my dealer and friend who is a mechanic at laguna niguel. however, he wont do this for others so that is a moot point. Most dealers wont do this since well they wont.

Steve is the guy to contact or BigSis who is his sister.

see sig
I had a dealer tech do mine (through star d), but when he unpluged it, the car went back up to the factory specs, any idea/advise I can pass on to the tech. He did not know how to lock it in.
I would appreciate it very much.
