They lowered starting back in 2017 when in S+ mode.

The owner’s manual states 15mm when the suspension is in S or S+ mode. This is true for any drive mode with the suspension is S or S+. As RK also stated, it’s standard for the GLCs with Airmatic.

Is there a reason not to use lowering links on a 2020?

How much are you guys paying for 4 wheel alignment? I'm planning it having it done by my local Merc dealer, but I don't know if its worth taking it to an off dealer wheel alignment shop? I'm only lowered 22mm front and 27mm rear car track straight just like before the lowering module, but curious to see what my camber and toe in/ toe out results after the lowering module.

I am likely the oddball out and it doesn't make sense to me either but I never had mine realigned after lowering and my tires are lasting way longer than they normally do. I went through all 4 in 8k miles before lowering it and I have 5k on the newest 4 and they show very little wear and what it does have for wear is all even vs just the insides. I am not going to touch it.

LOL! Funny you said that. When I picked up my brand new GLC63 back in 18', the steering wheel was cockeyed to the left. I had them aligned once and still came back cockeyed! Finally, I guess a master tech did the second alignment and the steering wheel was perfect!!! Now, fast forward today the car drives fine and tracks fine and I'm just worried if some so-so tech touch the alignment he or she might screwed it up again.

This is in Canada but my dealer price was $250 and a local performance tire and wheel shop was just over half of that. Quite frankly, I'd trust the wheel and tire shop more than the dealer based on some of the historical discussion on this forum related to dealer thoughts around the crabbing issue.

we will make all necessary tests in a few weeks and introduce you here the results
Is that 1.25 lower than sport mode or just overall? I gotta be honest, i wouldnt pay the same amount for that, how far are you from the full 70mm drop?

It is difficult to answer because I don't know how the car rides at all the heights. Someone playing with heights on an actual car that can report back on ride quality (and tire size and model). I would not be able to guess.

The ride is definitely not that enjoyable at 40mm. I race at 35mm on the circuit.
I would definitely be okay with 32mm. That gets added to the drop in Sport+ mode.

Do you have any pics at 35mm on track or off?

I am running 275/40,315/35 tire combo. these are 28.6" tall so about 0.6" shorter than stock 20" tires. your wheel gap would be less at any height I am running at


-35mm

-35mm or -40mm rear. cant remember now

20mm/25mm combo for daily driving

Is this true? if so that sucks :-( these look ideal, had lowering links on my last glc63s and didn't like not having the option to go stock for better ride etc...

@ AndreSilva Is that a carbon fiber wrap on the wheel surrounds and skirts or aftermarket CF kit ?
