W211 AIRMATIC E500

Hey kinda new to the airmatic suspension , need some info, everytime I park the car it seems to raise or lower randomly (or while driving) especially when getting of the freeway , how do I get it to stay at one height level ?

I know their are these methods (washers,lowering links , star) but which one will solve my problem ?

Im tired of the car looking like a suv I need it to stay dropped and only raise when I press the raise button in the center counsel!! Will STAR method solve my issue?

Not sure what is your problem. The car self adjust to keep it level to the ground. When you press the "raise" button, it will do just that. Press it again and it will drop it to the normal level. If your car keeps changing it's height, I'd look into sensors as it should not be constantly changing ride height. I've noticed that mine would change it's height when it's parked on a hill, either adding more air or releasing (you can actually see it happen when you press "unlock" botton on your key).

You are most certainly welcome. I suggest hooking your car up to a STAR computer and running some diagnostics on the Airmatic. If you have any fault codes, they will show up there.
