Lomo M1 installed on to my CLS550

Just picked up the vehicle from the shop. Wanted to thank ACG Automotive for the great job.

Looks great! Mind if I ask why you went with the Lomo instead of Renntech? I plan on purchasing a ELM within the month.

Thank you! Actually the only reason I went with Lomo M1 is because I am in control of the suspension anytime and anywhere through the dashboard. On the other hand, Renntech you have to connect your computer (windows only) in order to adjust your hight every time. Unless you purchase samsung tablet that Renntech offers for additional $350 and with that you can control your hight anytime and anywhere as well.

The only 2 advantages I saw in Renntech is that it allows the vehicle to return to its factory ride-height at a pre-set speed, which you can adjust anytime you have the computer. However, Lomo M1 has the same feature but once you pre-set the speed, you are no longer able to change that. Finally, Renntech is cheaper if of course you do not purchase the samsung tablet. If you are wondering, my pre-set speed is set at 75 mph.

I hope that helps you decide which lowering module to go with. Regardless which option you choose, your CLS will look amazing when you get this done!

Thank you. My plan is to get the Renntech, I want to lower to the point where all 4 tires are tucked about 1/2". The speed I will set it to automatically raise will probably be around 25mph.

It will look amazing if all the 4 tires are tucked about 1/2" but be careful when getting into parking lots and going over bumps because I am pretty sure you will scratch bottom of your bumper almost every time. I leave a space between the bumper and the fender about one finger space. When I arrive to my destination, I just switch from comfort mode to sport mode. That just lowers the car where the fender and the tires touch.

I love the module and I haven't had any issues at all. I like the fact that you can control the suspension within the dashboard. The sport mode and the comfort mode function without any issues. The lift button works as well. Let me know if I can be of any help.

It makes me want to go and get my car dropped but before that I rather have the tint windows and a tune.

Love your setup����. Still deciding between Renntech and LoMo m1. We have Identical car so awesome to see the look with LoMo m1! Do you how Inches when it's slam all the drown to -8?? Is it the same with renntech? Do you have to let them know before purchase to preset to 75mph?
Any future rim setup?? Thoughts on 21"rims?
That's for this trend! It's an awesome topic!
