Thumbs up Lowering module

On the Lorinser lowering module how much does that lower the vehicle in regards to a CL class, cause i am interested perhaps in purchasing with a group buy.


thanks

the system actually lowers the car 1.5 inches...but here's the catch it can be reprogrammed for any height, but it's pretty complicated...the kleeman on the other hand is fully adjustable from within the cabin

Lightbulb lowering module

On the kleeman lowering module, how can u adjsut that within the cabin? And how much can you adjust it up and down? Is it like an air supension? Do you think its worth the $2000.00 dollars . I have purchased a linkage kit which was explained to me that takes about 10 to 15 minutes which will lower the CL. I have not installed it do you think it is sufficient or perhaps shall i purchase something more reliable and safe. Whats your opinion?




thanks
nathan

well the SL, S, and CL all use an electronically controlled suspension that is air filled for determining ride height

while the lorinser tricks the suspension into thinking it is 1.5 inches higher than it actually is (which causes the suspension to lower it self 1.5 inches to compensate) the kleeman is fully programmable with a knob that allows for user controlled height adjustment, it isn't like the air bag setup...but i think the kleeman one is definitely the way to go

Actually the CL, SL and S (With ABC) are hydraulically controlled suspensions. Not air suspensions.

I agree, the Kleemann is the best setup, although pricey.
