I think I have decided to not have my car aligned yet and raise it back up when I am driving over 20 miles or so and keep it low when under that mileage.
I haven't really checked my tires but I'm at 7,000 miles and from past experience with my AMGs, about 8,000 is all I will get out of them so I will just wait for new tires before alignment.
I am curious if yours really dropped -70mm. I tried mine at several different heights and measured each change. Mine never went below -40mm no matter how much more I took it even though it showed it was lowering more on the screen. The actual measurements stopped moving at -40mm.
You would think there would be a max drop and who knows maybe it is 40MM. Either way maybe we will know some day. Hoping to do mine this weekend
I would guess by the ride of it, it is completely on the bump-stops at 40mm. You also lose all rebound or I guess I should say your rebound becomes way to fast. Hitting a high speed bump will throw you threw the roof as it totally unloads the suspension. My settings seem to be a pretty good compromise.
Finally did the Wagon. Easy install(less than 3 minutes). Tap start button once(car should be off) - insert OBDII unit- setting pops up on display- select setting - done)
I had to land on something that was usable for me and THE BOSS so my biggest worry was the pre-set low setting would be too much even in comfort. Happy to report there is little to no difference except for ride height. Driving dynamics are the same and it absorbs bumps etc the same as stock at least IMO. Sport + is clearly the ride height I am driving in but it is not just a better looking ride it is clearly firmer and feels planted. Nevertheless If you hit a bump you will know its been lowered but not in a "spill your coffee" overly jarring way. I am not even messing with going any lower right now.
This is the height it should have come with from the factory. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the thread and continues to share their experiences. Cheers and enjoy the weekend.

I will add the MODULE PRESET LOW- SPORT + once the site gets its act together and lets me add another picture.
How did you come up with the car needed to be off and push the start button once? I just jump in, turn car on, slap the module in, make the settings I want and pull the module out.
