Renntech settings

anyone here have the renntech lowering module installed? what setting are you using for front and rears? i have mine set at 1 for the fronts and 7 for the rears. the car is slammed... so i'm a bit concern if this is going to damage anything.

i'm also confuse on why the rears are so low, with the setting at 7. any number below that is not driveable...


thanks

All non-AMG Mercedes models should use a setting of 3 or higher.

AMG cars are lower than their Mercedes counterparts. With this

in mind it is recommended that AMG cars use a ride height setting

of 5 or higher.

Lower settings can be used for show purposes but are not recommended

for everyday driving.

I have it on 1 up front and 2 in rear and dont have any problems. Just press the vehicle raise button when entering or exiting a driveway. Car will still scrape on some things due to the long wheel base. Usually it is those little flaps in front of the rear tires or way underneath in the back of the front air dam.
