Got my CLS lowered with pics

I got my CLS500 lowered at my local tuner using the RennTech lowering module. It is most noticable in the front. The module accounts for all variables, therefore eliminating any negative camber or rubbing. It's been done for a week now, with absolutely no problems. It is about 1/2 inch lower in back and almost a full inch in front. It cost me about $1495.

No "offence" proper spelling...offense, taken. The thread wasn't about the wheels, but your opinion is duly noted.

Lowering module only, no hardware changes.

none
I know several people that have used these lowering modules and aligment IS required. If you dont have it aligned your tires will cup on the inside and wear out really fast.
