Ride height issues...

does anyone know what the stock ride height is for a 2008 cls63 with the 030 package? i feel like my car rides very low - can only get 1 finger in the gap.....one mercedes dealer tells me it's normal and another said it looks too low and needs to be adjusted...

just have the dealer check the voltage, what size tires and wheels are you running?

Did you buy it new? Maybe the car has been lowered before. Post a pic to compare.

I'm going through a similar dilemma, I'm not sure if my car has been lowered via STAR before.

Either way, just take it to the dealer to find out.
