Too gangster for my taste. A car like the CL should be driven with class and not driven like a boy racer car. Any CL does not merit this kind of lowering. The CL has got 3 suspension set-up (Comfort, Sport1 and Sport2) and that should suffice to give anyone a comfortable ride. So why the further lowering? Honestly, this is really true that money can never buy class. Enough said!

You must be an intelligent man if you really think he drives his car that low. The car has 3 different suspension modes like you stated but an ELM lets you raise and lower your car as you wish. The owner happens to like the look of a low car while you do not. He's not in here giving you crap about how you style your car, or lack thereof. I understand that it's your opinion but the height of a vehicle does not showcase a person's "class".
