Disabling Speed Sensitive Lowering (W215)
Duh, I just realized that our cars have "Speed Sensitive Lowering"...
First: Does anybody know how much it lowers?
Second: Is there a way to disable this or limit it using the STAR system?
The car is a 2005 CL55 lowered with adjustable links to run about 1.25" below stock ride height as a daily driver. The alignment is near perfect, but during alignment it was noted that there is quite a camber/toe difference from normal ride height to the top/raised position. I can only make the assumption that going lower will result in extra camber or toe at highway speeds.
Any thoughts?

Lowers 11 mm (0.43 in) between the speeds of 60–160 km/h (37–99 mph) .
There is no way to disable via STAR. This is one of the main reasons I went with a lowering module.

Bingo. I've been saying this the whole time but no one ever listens. They go with the cheaper option; lowering links. I guess I'm not okay with having Home Depot suspension parts on my car.
