how to lower your cls 55?

hi guys,

I'm new to cls 55 and was wondering on how to lower your car? are you guys using any module ? or just change the springs? do you need to go to mercedes dealer to adjust the censors or whatever? any ideas how much will it cost me?

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.)
