  • Brand of lowering kit/module - Amazon - OBD module
  • How low in each of the shots - 1.25 inch roughly (-32 mm) at all four corners
  • Wheel spec front/rear - 285/40R22 - 325/35R22
  • Lowering amounts front/rear - drop 1.25 inch roughly (-32 mm) at all four corners
  • Miscellaneous info/anecdotes - Photo looks more like 1.75 inch drop because car cooled after parking and air suspension cools after driving - but programmed drop was -32 mm

Here is mine. Picked it up on Monday. It’s on the lowest factory setting. I bought the Amazon (Roman) module and hope to get it next week. I would like this to be the standard setting (Comfort) and then Sport+ to be about 1 inch lower. Hope the module can do all that.

Just sold the GLE Coupe (will always miss it), but here are some pics of the car lowered.

I had two sets of wheels, the black 21s that came with the car and the polished 22s.

My lowering module (best way to lower your car) and the 22" rims are available for sale.

Thanks guys! Keep them coming! I just installed my new 22s, will be ordering my module soon. Tint tomorrow, and the same thing for the module I believe. Your coupes look great guys! Curious if there are other guys with different experiences with other items.I wish this device could be used for a minimum of two cars vs. one, as I have more than one MB Airmatic vehicle. As many of us are buying these, I think that would make sense....just to keep the fraud down, ensure the VIN is to the registered owner of the car(s) in question.

A suspension becomes stiffer when you lower it as in sport mode.

- agreed that suspension becomes stiffer. the lower the stiffer!

- The module changes the pressure in the air bags and it's okay. When install lowering links the load on the airbags increases more. The most dangerous is to damage air suspension pump

Used the
Amazon Amazon
lowering module to lower the air suspension by -40mm on my second GLE63s, did wheel alignment after lowering. Looks good, but too low for sport mode, have to go back to factory height.

Thanks seller, product works as advertised, great service and fast delivery.

Are the lowering link installation easy on a GLE53? I did it on an E class 10+ years ago and it wasnt that difficult, but it was very hard to reach

Ride too stiff

I have the lowering module and tried various settings and they all resulted in the ride being too harsch. When you hit a bump or dip, the amg damper system even in comfort setting hurts my back. Do you guys have any suggestions (i.e. change shocks). Thanks
