Three ways
Basically there are three ways

a) Adjusting the links (rear and front)

b) Using the STS @ the dealership

c) Installing a lowering module (Renntech, Carlsson, etc)

I installed a Kleemann module for about $1800 installed and was happy with it. A disadvantage orf any lowering module is the greater risk of tearing up the front lip (and thus the whole front bumper). It is about $1700 to replace. Unfortunately I speak from experience!!

At least according to a dealer, it will not so long as the warranty problem is not related to the lowering module. (I don't know that I would rely on that, since the ultimate arbiter of the wasrranty coverage is MB & not the dealer.)
