You can ask your dealer to run your VIN number in their EPC if you can't find the info in / on your car yourself...

I remember calling Axle about a year ago(I don't think he's there anymore) and he advised they can only use a tuner's aftermarket lowering module. For liability reasons, they aren't willing to use Star Diagnosis.

Seems to me there is less stress and waiting if you use a lowering module.

True that! The module has adjustable height, just not price.
