It is a very nice stance. Is this the Rohana RF2 wheels? Could you share to us what is the size of wheel and tire you use? And also, what is the offset on your wheel?

Thanks man! You are correct, they are the Rohana RF2 wheels.

Front - 20x9 et 25 - 245/35 tire
Rear - 20x10 et 33 - 285/30 tire

*I originally had the RC5's (same offset and tire setup), but the cast wheels bent waaaay to easily. Since going to the Flow Forged wheels, I haven't had a single damaged wheel....and they are considerably lighter!

Thank you for the post!!! I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the RT interface and I love your setup.

The second big questions here is whats happens with warrenty once you run with a lowering module

Thanks, I appreciate it. So the warranty question....

Two answers:
1. The RT lowering module comes with a dummy plug which puts the vehicle back to stock....I forgot to mention that in the video. So unless they pull the passenger footwell, they'll never be able to tell it's there. The other option would be to completely uninstall the RT and put it all back to stock...but with the dummy module, there's really no need.

2. I'm sure MB would say that it voids the warranty, but mine is expired, and I refuse to take it to a MB dealership (the service dept's here locally are horrible). I take it to an independent shop or I do the work myself. I still follow the service guidelines, but I just don't use MB service departments.

Overall, I'm not sure how the LoMo module hides itself, but the RT (with the dummy module) can be invisible to the dealership if you ever have to take it in for warranty issues.

I went with the Renntech V3, I absolutely love it and I really can't say enough about there support team. My table had an issue I gave them a ring, they're based in the states and added a new version of the app into the google store within a couple hours. IMO Renntech is worth the premium because someone will actually be there for you when you have an issue.

I'll take some better photos of the car aired out, but I typically drive at height in the photo

1500$/450$ = 3,3333 I think and either I do not know math well or you are Renntech merchant

@Merss the RT module was about 1k, it's worth calling and asking for discounts

@TNTim The wheels are 20x9" Front 20x10.5" Rear and the offset is 25mm Front 30mm Rear

It is very nice for this combination of drop and wheel. What size of tire are those?

Not only the price is higher even twice, though cost value the module hardly cost more than 250$, but for control the device renntech suggest to buy android tablet for 400$!!!!!!
It's too difficult and expensive.
Agreed... This module is the ultimate way to lower an airmatic car. It doesn’t get easier, cheaper, or more risk free...
