Special offer: MBenzNL lowering for Airmatic equipped cars

The special offer is: Schedule your Airmatic-equipped E-class or CLS-class for lowering via Star Diagnosis in the SF Bay Area during the month of April, Hawaii during our install trip there in May, or in Southern California during our install trip there in May. With your paid adjustment, you'll receive a T-shirt that you can choose size/style from a selection of MBenzNL gear or Mercedes-related styles. For information on the available sizes/styles and to make an appointment or get pricing, mail sales@mbenznl.com or ask me via e-mail. SF Bay Area customers may want to contact me directly for scheduling in this area.

For more information on this lowering method, please search here at mbworld in the forums, as a lot of information has been posted about it. If you've been trying to decide if this is for you, please check into the various comments in the forums and decide soon, as this offer is limited by quantites available!

A quick run-down:

MBenzNL has lowered many Airmatic-equipped cars via Star Diagnosis. This procedure is for the owner who would like a mild lowering of his US-spec car. Most cars are lowered an average of 3/4" (18mm), with some cars being lowered much farther, and some not getting the full amount. We take into account the front/rear bias you would like to attain, and meet that as closely as possible. After level calibration, we allow customers to make several adjustments at no charge (within reason), so that the customer can achieve the desired appearance or performance. We will also return the car to its original ride height at no cost when performed during one of our scheduled tours in various areas. Cars can also be returned to original ride height during an alignment at any Mercedes-Benz service center.

The amount of lowering is limited, as we stay within specification for the vehicle. Customers looking to do extreme lowering will probably not be satisfied with the result. The appearance of your vehicle after lowering will vary with the tire/wheel combination you choose. See examples posted in the forums to get an idea of the appearance of vehicles after level calibration. Since we do not use any tricks to fool the computer or to lower the car beyond what is allowed by the system, it is unlikely that the lowering itself will cause any problems with the suspension system. As with any change made to the suspension, it is recommended that you get an alignment afterwards, but ensure that any alignment adjustments do not adjust the ride height of the vehicle. If an alignment is not performed, it is possible that you may experience increased tire wear, although the tire wear on these vehicles can be expected to be greater than on most other vehicles. In any event, MBenzNL cannot be held liable for any damages or circumstances resulting from the adjustment of the suspension. All adjustments will be made within the parameters set by Mercedes-Benz for the vehicle, and the customer is responsible as the adjustment was made at the request of the customer.)

Nice T-shirts, but I was hoping for one that said something like "MBenzNL Customers Do It Lower."

But seriously, and realizing that Steve is in the car modification business, not the T-shirt business, are any of the shirts available for purchase without modification work? I particularly like the one in the upper-left.

How about a 2005 COMMAND system or Euro version that i can play MP3 and get that IPOD connection working? Or maybe even the TV tuner.

Am I too late to get one of those units?

Please let me know. I appreciate your help

thanks
Chuck

MP3 is a matter of updating comand software...IPOD compatibility depends on teh instrument cluster software and has nothing to do with the comand itself (as it ONLY uses the AUX input of comand)

TV tuners can only be connected to euro comands (and not even to all eurospec comands).

If it wasn't for people asking for MBenzNL gear - I would never even started offering any gear in the first place...shirts will become available without parts purchase in the future as well...but as it is a side "product" - it might take a while...

Chris, which one... The one with just the MBenzNL logo, or the one that says 'shockingly innovative'?

Sam, we did receive your mail, we did reply it (I did, not Steve) and your name is on our future install list. But... since Steve is not (yet) preparing an East Coast trip, there is no need in contacting customers who are living at that specific coast.

Don't worry, we will contact you as soon as Steve starts arranging a trip 'East'.

greetingz,

BigSis
