Lowering a 2010 CL 63

I just picked up a new CL 63 this weekend and need to know if there is any way to lower it a bit more without installing a aftermarket products. Maybe there is a setting that I am unaware of. I have set the suspension to sport mode and drive mode to sport also, but the car seems to be sitting high to me.

I am coming out of a CLS 63 which was ok, but I would like this car to sit even lower if possible.

Thanks

could you compare your cls and cl?

Renntech V3 lowering is the best

Night and day

The CLS is lighter and handles a lot better and the power is felt without giving as much gas. The CL power is much smoother in its delivery and the car is just much more comfortable in every way, but you do know that you are driving a much bigger car. There are many more options available and thing like that. Its just the way its described as a 2 door S Class.

Your car can be lowered without installing any aftermarket products thru the dealer. They can usually do this fairly easy and can drop anywhere from 2" to 3" all around. This works with vehicles that have airbags for suspension

We lower most of the cars by using the STAR system. It is a little tricky, and you need a tech that knows his stuff, but it's worth the effort.

I have tried to do this with previous cars and dealers, and most of them say that they can't or won't do it. I am located in Central Jersey and I am not sure which dealer in this area would be able to do it.
