Renntech lowering module questions

I finally have the Renntech lowering module installed on my CLS55. I really like the adjustability of each wheel feature. The modules have the ability to lower the car in the range from 10 mm to 50 mm with increment of 5 mm (25 mm = 1"). I like the look when lowered 35 mm, but was told its best not to lower greater then 25 mm (1"), is this true? Also is wheel alignment required after the lowering adjustment?

It would be nice if have easier access to the high adjustment switch, rather then have to take floor mate apart.


Project completed: 20" black center with chrome lip iForged Monaco wheels, window tint, Carlsson front lip, clear side markers, AMG pedals, Renntech lowering module.

Thank you Adam. How about lower extra 10mm to setting #3?

Love your black wheels.

Thank you for your pictures. I am going to lower the front and back to setting #3 this weekend. Do I need to get another wheel alignment after lowered?
