I got the new Carlsson lowering module installed along with Brabus sport exhaust. The new module makes the car lower than before. I apologize for the poor lighting in the pictures.

 

Looks great. Do you still have the OEM suspension settings and is there any performance increase with the exhaust ? Also how does it sound ? My wife just broke her leg, can you tell me how much lower the front seat entry would be. Thanks Stew

 

That thing is absolutely gorgeous.

, but Stew, hope the wife gets better soon.

 

Man...I am really feeling the side view of your GL. Nice!

 

Great looking GL! Does the lowering module allow you to raise the vehicle if you need to, and is the ride height adjustable? I'm thinking this would be ideal for my dad's next GL in about a year. He'll be 80 by then and getting into a high vehicle can be a bit of a chore for older folks. His current GL is about right, but I can see it becoming more difficult the older he gets. He has told me a car just wouldn't do because getting in and out of the lower seat in a car is most difficult for him. So, if he still drives as well as he does now, the 550 will be his next vehicle, and the lower height with this module will be exactly what he'll need.

 

Yes to answer your question and NEODOCs question you can still use the sport and comfort modes (which will raise and lower it) as well as the regular raise button. I do not know the peformance gains from the exhaust but my opinion would be that they are not much since it is just and axle back application. If you would like I can measure how high the seat is at the cars lowest setting, just let me know.

 

You're now limited to 12½ miles per hour with the seat in its lowest position, playing only Santana's "Low Rider" at 743 decibels.

Dude, a slick ride indeed!

 

It looks great!! Any video of the new exhaust?

 

No I dont have any. But if the demand is there I wouldnt be opposed to taking a short video of it and how it sounds.

 

Looks really great, CL65. We definitely have to plan a meet soon to see this beauty in person. Video would be great

Stew - sorry to hear about wife. Hope she recovers completely and soon.

 

hand claps

some interior shots?

Video please ....

 

Nice looking setup CL. Really like the side shots showing the low profile. A really sweet looking white GL!

I am the only one who has to get used to the the dual round exhaust I guess. Just not sure whether I like the effect or not, but it does look more powerful than the OEM look.

 

Any offers you make are going to be greatly appreceiated and requested! I knew there was no end to throwing money at this car.

 

Add me to the list.

 

Yeah I know there are a lot of people that really like the tips on the 550 but I am not much of a fan of chrome and the car already has lot of chrome to begin with. I got the exhaust mainly to change the tip style and a little bit for the noise too.

 

Ok so the demand is there for a video, so I will make it happen. I will try and get it done today between football games.

 

 

Thanks for the well wishes, the GL will be medical trans for the next 3 months.

 

here are 3 videos, 2 are of the GL driving by and one is of it when the car is started. enjoy!

Sound is awesom, thanks for the videos! Was that sound at full throttle?

 

tx for sharing !

 

quick vids ... thanks

 

Thanks for the video...sounds really "healthy" A nice addition!

 

How does putting the 550 in Sport or comfort modes affect the ride height with the Carlsson lowering module. Is there a setting that returns it to standard ride height? I'm really interested in this module for the reasons I stated in an earlier post.

 

At the same time do you mind posting the installed prices for the module and sport exhaust?
