Lowering the CL55
Has anyone lowered their CL, electronically or otherwise? I read somewhere that European specs on the CL55 has the car sitting lower.

This is true. In Europe the CL is a tad lower. There are a few manuf. that make lowering devices. Some mechanical and some electronic. If you do a search on the forum you will find various messages about them. The electronic modules are pretty expensive however offer the most adjustability. The mechanical options are pretty inexpensive however don't offer as much. pros and cons of both.

Thats actually not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm guessing installation would be very costly. Which companies do this? And has anyone on the board actually done it? I wonder if there are any cons besides the price. I would be interested in doing this just because I have realized that changing the rims to 20's will compromise the ride much more than "choosing" when to compromise the ride a little bit when electronically lowering the car.

I just talked to Kleeman (Colorado) and was told that their ABC Interruptor Module costs 2079.00. It lowers the car initially 1 inch and according to the installer can lower the car another 15 millimeters. So overall, its a 1 1/2 inch drop. Installation should cost somewhere around 150.00. Is a 1 1/2 inch drop worth that?
Also was told that the supercharger upgrade will be available by the end of March.

1 1/2" may be a bit much, but I do know that lowering the car will improve the handling. I live in the mountains with all sorts of twisty and curvy roads... So I would greatly benefit from this. My concerns are: Does this Module interfere with the cars inboard systems, such as the ABC and the car's Leveling system.
