Convertion from ABC to coil overs and how to delete ABC fault codes that will appear?

I wonder if any here have converted to coil overs with front and rear sway bar?

My main question is how do you delete the fault codes that will show after the coil overs convertion?
Do you delete the fault codes using MB Star Diagnostic or in worse case do you have to live with the fault codes?

I justa read about and watched a youtube film about the Strutmasters coil over kit with the light fix module so is the light fix module the part that disables any ABC fault codes?

Just remove the ABC Control board from the CANBUS. Alternatively, you could pull out all the ABC related fuses. You will still have a white warning every time you start up but you could scroll past it easily

If you have a STAR system then I have heard that you can program the car's internal computer to behave like it's an SL350 and apparently that allows you to code it out. Alternatively, you could ask Aarkah as he is the one who informed me about removing the ABC controller from the CANBUS. Here's the thread where I learnt that

I am sorry I could not be of further assistance. If I do learn how to do it I will surely let you know.
