2003 E500 w211 ways to bag the car want to go up and down
I'm trying to bag my car and the set up are expensive i just bough my e500 and the previous owner just instal all the air shocks on the car is there anyway that I can use the oem air shocks to lower and raise my car by just buying the silinoids and air tank can anyone help me out and I think my compressor just went out too. Or is there a post that someone did this already let me know . I know there is lowering links. But my car is already low and my compressor when out already

I would advise to not drive the car at all at that extreme low ride height. Why not just replace the compressor? There is a way to slightly lower the default ride height using the SDS computer but it will not be adjustable from the cab other than the "raise vehicle" button. I'm sorry to say but these motorcars are not meant to have wild adjustable ride heights.

Sounds like a lowering module would be the way to go. Just fix the issue with your compressor.
The Programa module is $600.

you can lower your car at least 1" by adjusting sensor rods.

How low are you trying to get the car? Just fix the compressor and get a lowering module unless you're trying to go super low. Another option is to remove the whole airmatic system and install coil overs.

You should also be asking your questions in the W211 section. The New Members section isn't really the place to ask this type of stuff since it doesn't get a ton of traffic.

The Programa lowering module will work on your car.
