I have a brand new one in the box for $700. Never used with the remote. V2 Pm me as I do not check this section often.

I just received the OK to post the Group Buy with ProgRama

Just installed the module earlier last week. Installation was fairly easy - took about 3-4 hours, mostlyto verify the pinouts.

I drive around with the setting at -1.6 in the front, -1.2 in the rear. I noticed I get rubbing around the -1.8/-1.4 mark.

My overall impression - extremely satisfied. Photos attached.

FYI - when it came to connecting the ground and positive terminals of the lowering module, the instructions were quite different. Since I am familiar with electronics, it was fairly apparent. I called up tech support just to request that they update their manual so that people don't get confused.

Cheers.

Thinking of getting this myself. Can you be more specific about the things that were no covered in the instructions?

Here is the link to the manual:
http://www.programainc.com/docs/Merc...wering%20M.pdf

I followed the Airmatic 3-wire level sensor. The discrepancy was how the ground(-) and positive(+) leads were connected as described in the instructions. (page 14, Steps 21-28)

It indicated connecting the (+) and (-) terminals into a 2-port female car harness connector. However, the package did not include that 2-port connector.

Instead, there were two t-taps used to actually tap into the ground and positive wires. Refer to the Renntech installation video at 3:34 - that is how it needs to be done.
Everything else in the manual was precise. Installation was cut and dry - just be sure to take time verifying the pinouts.

The tools used:
- 10mm and 11mm ratchet
- Finepoint pick
- Electric tape (to tape the ends of unused leads)
- Tie wraps


Hope that helps.

Wow. Thanks for all the info. Does anyone have any problems with tire wear after the install? Will I need to realign the frontend every time I make a change in the height?

You need to realise that ex-factory there is only front and rear Toe adjustment for virtually all Mercedes 1968 to current models (and same with Chrysler crossfire and 300C etc).


We saw the need and were the very first company to manufacture precisely adjustable front Camber and Caster bushing kits with twice the adjustment range of the basic one setting offset bolts.


Then for the rear, K-MAC Camber adjuster kits, which have the advantage (unlike upper adjustable arms/DIY kits) of not moving the top of the tire outwards when adjusting to resolve premature inner edge wear - which is an important factor to prevent tires scuffing outer fenders if wide profile tires/rims fitted.


Another advantage with K-MAC rear kits - unlike spherical bearings used in these upper arm kits, there is no harsh metal to metal contact and 20 years of the proven design - there's certainly no squeaks.


Also all K-MAC rear Camber adjusters include extra Toe adjustment which is essential to compensate accurately for the new Camber facility!


The K-MAC patented design front kits replace the 4 main suspension bushes - the unique 2 axis/self aligning design also doubles the load bearing area thereby increasing wear life and also steering and braking response.


Similar design is used for the 4 main rear K-MAC bushings.


Result is precise single wrench front and rear (ongoing) adjustment to return vehicle to factory specs to improve traction, compensate for steering pull, costly inner edge tire wear through altering height, fitting wide profile tires, load carrying, curb knock damage and/or the advantage of being able to alter specs, improve lap times on track days and with genuine K-MAC you also do not need to purchase special fitting tools.


Product confidence with K-MAC is further assured by our total, ongoing commitment to motor racing - all out 10/10th competition testing keeps K-MAC products always at the forefront re cutting edge technology, proven strength and durability.

I used the Renntech module in the past but it wasn't like the V2 Programma with the wired remote which I use now. Programma made the Renntech modules in the past and I like the Programma module better than the current Renntech that you have to connect a usb. Who has time for that? Anyway I didn't have it all the way slammed. I left about an inch in the front because when it was lower, the tire hit the fender on a turn.
