using a carlsson module.
not sure about exact lowering height (2-2.5inch), but the ride is stiffer especially on B-roads and over speed bumps.

I've had only a one time problem with the suspension, where the *** was up n the air and the front down like a dog waiting for the ball. Not sure if this was related to the module or the original merc ECU.

I have the renntech module on hand, but still haven't found time to install it. It allows manual control over original ride height and preset height.
