I wanted to ask you if one can easily go back to stock height with your links? Also, will the inclination angles affect my alignment whatsoever? Thanks

I found some links on eBay that are adjustable so I guess you can go back to what ever height you desire. I'm not sure if they are all like that though. As for the alignment, when ever you lower the car you will definitely change up the camber specs which would require alignment after lowering. I think if it's more than a one inch drop it won't be able to align the car into the "green area" but I'm not really sure with this car. I'm also still trying to search around for answers myself.

The solution to that I guess is to get the car lowered at any alignment shop since they'll have a Romess inclinometer which can set everything straight.

That sounds good. I wonder how they would charge for it though? And how does that actually hook up and work?

I have had nightmare after nightmare, First was the renntech V3 module, for some reason i could never get that right. always threw codes when it was lowered. same thing with the links. they are so hard to set exactly right. The car is so advanced it throuws codes that say what suspension is not level. Then if you try to get an aggressive look for say parking or driving in a straight line the car will try and adjust itself and make itself lever. feels like someone is banging on the car. I havent checked into any other options. let me know if anyone has a solution. thanks

My Carlsson package came with the Carlsson engineered lowering module, push a button goes up high, push again goes low, drive fast, goes lower, bumpy road, raises automatically. does not change suspension feel.
Love it. Mercedes approved and warrantied.
