Any issues with the Renntech Lowering Module?

I'm about to install the RLM on my CLS 55 but I was warned against doing it one of the guys doing it here in OZ. He said since my car is a little older and has done a few kays, it will have problems. His explanation was that the car has sat on a particular height setting for all these years and to change it now will ruin the suspension.

Any one experience any problems before?

BTW my car is an 05 with 35,000 kms

Doesn't sound right to me, but I'm no mechanic either. Sell me your module for $500!

I dont see why you would have a problem, you should be fine, it does the same thing when you go over 75 the car lowers down so it should be fine

How could you have

How could you have a problem with a RENNTECH product.

Remember they offer performance with compromise.

I'm sure you meant 'without'.
