Lowering your car

I have pulled the trigger on a staggered set of 19's. I ended up going with the LM6 reps and now am wanting to know how you guys have lowered your cars particularly in N. CA. I got a quote from a tech at the dealer for $800 to reset the airmatic but have seen others that have done it for less. I don't want to lose the ability to raise the vehicle up if need be as well.
Also what are your impressions of the car after lowering it via airmatic.
My car is pewter so hopefully it will look good when it is all done. I will post pics but won't be until about mid/end jan. when get everyhing put on.

Thanks
Mike

I just had my car lowered at Kleemann in Denmark (Europe).

It was lowered 40mm with full Kleemann suspension and it looks just perfect!

Kleemann also lowers cars with airmatic.
