Renntech Lowering Module installed
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
