Hi,

Does anyone have CL500 or CL550 with AMG package and original ride height?
Previous owner lowered the car with star, at least haven't found lowering links, although car is suspiciously low and uncomfortable. In raised position it is almost ok.

I'd like to raise the car with Star/Xentry, could someone provide me the height in millimetres from the center of the wheel hub to the highest point of the wheel arch?

Thank you.

I can help with xentry

You set the ride height by measuring the inclination angle of the control arms. Data should be in WIS (which should be on the STAR/Xentry computer) and you use Xentry to set the angles. You do not need the expensive Romess inclinometer. You can literally use an inclinometer app on your cell phone. Use a clear plastic tube filled with water side-to-side and front-to-rear to ensure a level surface prior to calibration. Place floor tiles under each tire until the floor is level. Alternative to the water level is to place a 5 to 6-feet long square aluminum tubing onto matching sockets then place your inclinometer on the tubing; add floor tiles under the sockets until inclinometer indicates level. Park tires on floor tiles, raise/lower suspension a couple of times, then connect STAR, raise/lower until inclination angles of the control arms are within specifications. Not particularly difficult; you just need to prep carefully.

This link is for a W215 but be sure to read the .pdf included in the second post. This will give you an idea as to the procedure.

Thank you for the replies.

I was thinking this wrong way around, maybe because I've used Romess for alignment but not for changing ride height.
My initial thought was that I'll set the car's height to original using measures from center of the hub to the highest point of the wheel arch (just raise the car up with four jacks), check the romess values and enter them to ABC control module with DAS/ Xentry.
