Don't know how much lower exactly since I didn't measure it I just asked them and they took it back and did it and then called me back to check it out and see if I wanted it lower I said no its good enough I love the look now it looks better in person.

I'd love to know how they do this...Here in Denmark they really dont know how to do that. I work at an MB Dealer and the guys in the workshop dont think its possible. Could someone explain how they do this or is it a secret that they wont come out with?

i know it can be done with any car that has airmatic, including the SL.

doesnt hurt to ask your dealer. if you have a good relationship with your SA, im sure he'll do it.

i just got the RENNtech lowering module installed last weekend and i absolutely love it!

i can lower the car in 5mm incriments up to 40mm (2 inches). the ride quality is not noticable effected and you can feel the electronic dampening work even better than ever! also, the driveway raising system still works perfectly to save my amg bumpers from scraping!

i highly recommend it if you are considering lowering your car. it keeps all the functions and practicality of the normal system, allows you to go very low with it, and with a flip of a switch....it is COMPLETELY back to stock when you turn the module off! i love it. cant wait for my 20" Vellano's to arrive

Too bad when the Airmatic system fails, the dealer may void the warranty since when installing the Renntech module, you must splice into the Airmatic wires. Star Diagnostics is the best way to go.

get the carlsson module. it doesn't require splicing but it does cost more but i think it's worth the price since it can be returned to stock.

Yeah, I guess you really have to know your dealer in order to get this done. For some reason they are quick to say "No"

so many 3-piece wheels nowadays, they're hard to distinguish from each other. looks clean from the pics.

No. Still confused. I also need a tint and bumper plugs in front to achieve actual pimp status (you're already there). Got any suggestions for a white CLS?

I would put some GFG'S either the Lagunas's ,Nice 5's or Tripoli's all in the machined finish I put some next to my homie's S550 which is white it was killin trust me! But the GFG VISSO'S are my top choice if I was to do it in white period.

P.S. Don't put those cheap lookin EXE wheels on your car, wheels make or break your car Remember you said "Pimped" not "Cool"
