I had the Renntech ELM installed last Saturday and finally had time to take some decent pics after work. The module is awesome since you could adjust how much of a drop you want. In the pics is how low my car is currently set and I haven’t experience any rubbing or malfunction errors. I believe I could still drop the car another ½ an inch since I’m not at the lowest setting yet. I’ll probably lower the front a tad over the weekend. Thanks Jangy for answering all my questions and James & Del @ Creative Autoworks!!!

DAMN IT!!!!!!

Now I have to go out and get one. You know I have the 'Keeping up with the Jones' disease.

Looks good man, REAL GOOD. I need specifics. How much? How hard was the install. Did you get the 'Jangy Special' with the extender knobs? Pics of the install?

How does she ride now? Waaaaaay stiff when it's that low?

C'mon man!

GOD DAMN that looks good.

pinoys have good tastes.....i am loving your car....nothing but hotness.

KosherBenz

holy crap, thats low! How does it ride?

CALBenzo

Looks great, but a little too low for me . I never thought the lowering modules would lower it that much. Is it adjustable?? Interested in your responses to Benz-O-Rama's Q's.

Looks good Ryda. When did James install the ELM module for you and where is the module located?

W211 Ryda

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I got the control module and installation for the price indicated here, which is a great deal. https://mbworld.org/forums/showpost....29&postcount=1

I do recall that this special pricing is only good for the month of August. I didn’t get the Jangy special (although it was very creative idea), so my control module was mounted underneath the passenger floor alongside the stock airmatic computer board. After watching Del install the module, it seems like an easy installation so I’ll just extend the wires and somehow mount the module into the ashtray compartment after my other projects. If you guys ever installed a car stereo or car alarm, then this should be cake!

Since I basically slammed my car to the ground, some ride quality has been sacrificed over crappy roads. Driving on city streets and on the freeway feels almost like stock, maybe slightly stiffer, but with dips and imperfections on the road, the ride does get quite bumpy. I bet that will go away if I raise the rear a tad. Handling is great....took some on-ramps last night at speeds higher than what's posted and the car remain planted ....solid feeling through the corners. Previously, my car was lowered via Star Diag, which is also a great option……but I wanted that slammed look and the ability to dial in how much I wanted it dropped. The module will drop your car a maximum of 2” with ¼ inch increments. Hope this helps.

hahahah you know it bro!

W211 Ryda

Thanks man! They installed it last Saturday morning and I had them mount the module under the passenger's floor mat. Never knew there was a recessed cavity below the carpeting and sound deadening.

Don't forget to align the wheels at your final height.

James@Creative

Jeff, I'm glad your enjoying the module! Let us know if we can help with anything else in the future!

vraa

Hahaha man that ride is siiiiick.
I love it. Post more pictures please!

W211 Ryda

James, thanks for everything! Your service and staff are a class act! Will definitely hit you guys up in the future!

GLOCK36

Damn that's low.. best not plan a trip to Beantown in the near future, the roads will distroy the car.. Looks great, bet you can take the on and off ramps doing around 70 without problems.

jangy

Haha!! Looking nice, bro. Now its time to come to the Fusion meets with us. Creative is on the right path. Both James and Del are great. I'd let Del work on any of my projects. He is simply a perfectionist and should be an Airmatic specialist by now!!

w211 ryda, do you have that "dead body in trh trunk" problem also?

https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/148997-dead-body-my-trunk.html

Im asking this because if you do, did the sound go away with lowering the car? My dad's e500 has that noise, maybe if it will go away by lowering it a bit more, it will go away.

And yeah, pinoys have great taste in car modifications. Pinoy here, born and bred in the PI!

csumt76

Bro that is slammed!!!!! Now someone needs to develop a camber kit.

Yah Ryda, every Wednesday evening at 7:30PM.

That parking lot sure looks familiar. Must be afterhours at Fashion Valley. Nice ride. New member with new E350 but I hate looking at everyones cars because I don't have anymore extra money laying around to buy a decent license plate frame.

I moved from San diego 4-5 years ago. Lived in Chula vista, Imperial Beach and El Cajon. Fun place, Great streetracing.

Benz-O-Rama

Nah man. My car is lowered and the dead body is still back there. It does, however, seem to go away (or atleast get better) with the car in Sport II mode.

kaze81

wow..your car is really low..time to get new wheels..are you going to change the wheels?

W211 Ryda

Hmmmm, I lowered my car (via other methods) just days after I picked her up and I always play my music really loud so I haven’t heard any loud clunk. Interesting though….I’ll take my car out for a drive today with my radio off and listen for any clunks. I highly doubt I have the dead body issue though. Oh yeah, born in the PI as well but I grew up here my entire life.

Thanks bro! Yeah, I could see myself hanging out at Creative just to see the nice cars that must go through there. I think my next project is to have my spare grill painted to match the rest of the car. A little twist off the jangy-grill!

I’ll try to make it out there since I usually get off work around 8-8:30ish. Would love to check out the AMGs as well as a host of bimmers & audis.

lol, yup yup. Top level on the east parking structure.


hell yeah…Friday and Saturday street races back in the days. Meet up in Mira Mesa and branch off from there.

for now…I’ll roll on these stockies. I love having it slammed….tires all tucked w/o any rubbing, but I’ll eventually slap on some 19s in the near future. So hard to pick one since there are so many nice rims out there to choose from.

AGPSuperstaR

Very nice bro...love the slammed look!

Few questions for ya pimp,

Do you think it would rub if you were on the lowest setting on 20's? Would they tuck?

Can you send me some pixs of the car on the lowest setting? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Thanks!

i thought you need the airmatic to use this module? yea im a newb planning to pick one(e320 or e500) up very soon though
edit: nvm found the answer you got the "sport package"
another question is hows the tire wear? cuz that camber is pretty bad
