On the flip side, I didn't know that F1 did this kind of work. I don't want to spend over a grand on this thing or else I will just take out the sensors and bend them straight to lower the car for nothing, lol.
Thanks for the help!

Hey guys. I also wondered about lowering my 2008 E550. I leased my E class, will the dealer ship or MB charge me when i return my car with aftermarket springs and shocks?

I'm lowered on H&R sports, I had my MB tech install it while I was in for warranty work. MB Laguna Niguel is the best.
At first the ride was a bit bumpy but after a few weeks they settled into a ride just a tad bit firmer than stock.

If your car is anything like mine the fronts will not even be any where near rubbing those 20's
My 19's in the front are 245/35/19 +30 offset and I still have .6" gap there a .25" gap in the rear.
So if your gap in the front with H&Rs are the same as mine I really doubt you will scratch...unless your offset is really off as well

How much would the dealer charge me for using the SDS (computer) to lower my E550. If im putting in 20' inch lowenhart should i still lower my car? Will i get wheel bite in the front? Would other people notice that my car is lowered?

For those of you asking about how much it costs to get the dealer to use SDS to lower your Airmatic equipped car .. no idea. My dealer told me YES but I haven't had time to take it in to get it done.
I also haven't reviewed previous threads on this very topic .. but, I think the most you can lower is 1" and thats pretty much how much your car will lower itself at over 65mph, so I don't see any issues with complications or causing the Airmatic shocks to fail.
There are many threads about this previously, so people have done it. Also, if you lower with the SDS I believe there is no need for redoing the alignment, which *IS* required with the other methods.
