Hmm good question! Well I got my car done at F1motorsports I paid $500 and they just took care of it, they said all they had to do is reprogram the suspension and add a bracket. I don't even know what lowering module brand they use I could ask. My car was slammed at first and figured it was a problem because I could not even get on a minor slope without raising the car, its kinda annoying to do it each time, plus when 4 people are in my car the tires start to rub the fender well. So I had them reprogram it and told them specifically how I wanted the car to be.

Thanks... The reason I ask is because that is a perfect drop, exactly what I want. I am going to be riding iforged 20's and want that kind of drop. Could you inquire on what your shop did? If you can't thats cool but if you can that would be helping me out. Thanks alot.

I need to get a bodykit, was thinking of Brabus but its kinda pricey so I'm thinking of AMG with the 4 exhaust, dunno. Do you guys think I should add a deck/roof lid spoiler or a trunk lid?

Nope not anymore, it did before because it was 1" lower, but got it reprogramed. Theres one problem I noticed about Mercedes air suspensions. Even though you lower it to the level you want, the car will sometimes lower a further 1/2-1" depending on driving speeds, normally that wouldn't bother me but if people sat on my car that would be a problem especially going through bumps or going into a slope driveway. That is why I had it raise back up just where the tires and the fenders are at so its perfect now.

Yep..good eyes, well I'm a graphic designer so I can't resist not making improvements upon the photo. The only thing I did was make the image more dull(less colorful) looking to create that old feel like in certain brochures, and also added black gradient on the edges to enhance the look of the photo, plus text and the black strip woth mercedes logo thats it, everything else is real.

That I will have to thank my friend, he has a professional camera so he help me took a lot of those photo. Although I've taken photography classes at college I gave all my knowledge back to the teacher and still struggling on improving my skills.
