Inclination Values for 2006 CL65 AMG ABC system?

Hello all,

I have searched and searched and haven't been able to find specific values that worked for lowering the ABC system in a W215, specifically a CL65 AMG.

The advice I have gathered from searching was that value inputs have to be entered in small increments and the system should be recalibrated after each small change. That is understandable.

My goal is to lower the rear of the vehicle about 1-1.25 inches.

The car has a new pump and fluid, and all components seem to be in good and working shape. Passed the rodeo test a few times and is very quick while adjusting.

The main thing I am in need of are the inclination values that have worked for others while lowering the W215 chassis.

Any other pointers will also be appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

I messed with the inclination values and never got a good result. I suggest using the special lowering links you can find on ebay.

i agree. I used the links and they work great. They are only about $100 and are easy to install (so I am told by mechanic). 😀

Thanks for the replies guys. I think a part of our issue is that we were using an Autel unit instead of STAR, and with certain things, and apparently especially ABC, it does not always cooperate. Will try with STAR soon, and if not, will resort to links.

Thanks for the advice!
