It arrived this morning and took about 10 seconds to slap it on and change the height. I ended up going -32mm front and -40mm rear. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks awesome. The ride is harsher but not as bad as my last few SUVs that had H&R springs installed.

It took the U out of SUV......now it's just an awesome, tall car that holds a lot of stuff.

I am going to live with it over the weekend and if I leave it at this height, I will have it aligned.

They just look so much better. They should have come out of the factory like this. It's all about the stance. Well done.

Looks great! Will you put some spacers on there to bring the wheels out a bit?

ParadigmDawg

No spacers, I like wheels tucked in. Probably left over from my drag racing days.

ParadigmDawg

I think there is a certain height requirement to be classified as a SUV.

affalterthought

Looks really good man. My module is arriving in a week or 2. I am going to dial in the same settings. Curios to read your "live with it over the weekend" post.

Good looking coupe you got there.

Even at 30mm rear, i find hitting bumps on roads painful. My tires are .6" shorter too so that is probably half the pain.

Where in Texas are you located?

ParadigmDawg

Mine said it would be a week or two but I ordered it late Friday and it came on the next Wednesday.

ParadigmDawg

I am in Fort Worth.

Today I left the "good side of town" and hit some pretty bad bumps that got me on the bump stops. I have to evaluate more before I get it aligned. It looks so good though.

I wish it was a hand held unit that you could leave plugged in and adjust on the fly.

viper3ez

That would be pretty ****.

radride

On my old CL65, I had such a unit and was able to adjust on the fly if I wanted. The other thing was, once I dialed in the ride height, it stayed at that height no matter what performance setting I had the car on.

@Paradigm is the ride set to comfort in those pictures above ? If not can you show us what it looks like in Sport/Sport+.
Assuming it would be even lower ? Cars and Coffee parking lot height.

AMGPWR!

Does your car still change ride height when you go from comfort, sport and sport+?

radride

Apparently yes.

R.K.

lanoipat

Yes ! unless you are already at the maximum lowered the car can be .

ParadigmDawg

It was in S+ in those pictures. I have been riding around in custom setting all weekend with everything in S+ besides the suspension and it is in comfort. It's a pretty good ride in that setting.

I did almost knock my hitch mounted bike rack off going out of the driveway so I have to be careful there and take each incline/decline at an angle when my rack is on.

I also tried the "raise button" on the console and I bet it raised it 3-4" so I could always hit it before pulling out of the driveway.

Like everything I think trial and error is the order of the day based on individual neighborhood.Being from the NE you really need to drive "gingerly" as you never know
what might be lurking around the next corner especially after a snow storm and the plows have had ample time to destroy all of the improvements made over the summer months.
Still can't wait for the modules arrival. Now to figure out spacers and brand.

I went to 26 mm Front and 35 rear today and it rides really well in S+ and still looks really good. I will likely play around with it more before I have it aligned next Wednesday.

-40mm seems to be as low as mine will go. I tried it at -70mm and it showed it was at -70 but measurements showed it to be the same as when adjusted to -40.

KingMonkeyJr

I recently put my GLC back to stock ride height in front and -12mm rear to level out. Cant say it enough but it doesnt look nearly as good but it does drive so damn nice again lol.

affalterthought

Man to think from Belarus to Boston only took 5 days counting Sat/Sun. That's some quick shipment. Have to wait till the weekend to get this puppy on though.
The wait is going to kill me. Damn you work !!! QQ: Is it easy to get this thing back to stock (assuming that is a choice in the menu if the car has been lowered using the module already)?

ParadigmDawg

Yes, it truly takes 15 seconds to lower it, raise it or return to stock. You could probably do it going down the road.

GC_63

My setup for a while, -32 all around (low preset)

Probably will go up a bit.
Sort of harsh.

affalterthought

Sharp and it looks like your wheels are wrapped in some "meats".
What tire size are those and what is the offset on those wheels ?
p.s.
Glad to see someone else who opted to go without the running boards.
Cheers ,

GC_63

Thanks!

265/40/21 front and 295/35/21 rears
I believe front wheels are 21x9 with a +25 offset and rears are 21x10.5 with a +20 offset

ckay

Where did you get the add ons for the front bumper openings?
