This seems promising. What is the long-term affects of playing with the air-suspension? This seems like a better solution than to buying lowering springs though, it's kind of pricey.

Our experience is that the modification has no known negative long-term effects on the suspension. With a lowered vehicle, the pneumatic system is not filling as much as a stock vehicle, so it may even experience a slight increase in useful life of the system.
ok one more question. What affect does this have on raising the GLC using the raising feature button by the media controller?
If I lower to a specific height, and then used the raised OEM feature, would the truck raise to normal height, or it will it stop at certain spec?
The entire suspension height is offset by the set amount. The factory raise button still works, but from the new height. In other words if the raise button raises the vehicle 1”, it will now raise it 1” from the new height.
Our recommended setting lowers the car by 20mm(3/4") in the front and 32mm(1 1/4") in the rear.
However, this is just our recommendation. It also depends on the personal preferences.
