GLE Coupes lowered

Has anyone here lowered their GLE 53 or 63 coupe with 22” wheels? I’d love to see some pics and hear the specs of anyone is out there. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these would love to see any that have been dropped. Thanks.

Lowered my Brabus GLE 63s coupe with lower module from Amazon. Absolutely no issues.

Unfortunately not. The 2024’s are not compatible with the lowering modules.

Brabus makes an Airmatic Sport-Unit for the C167. I would bet on it that other folks have already copied or makes something similar and cheaper it you are looking to save money.

How is tire wear after lowering? Camber? Toe in, Toe out?

No issues with tire wear. It’s basically 2 approaches with using -30mm front/rear as an example:

1. Align wheels on lowered vehicle at comfort mode to OEM specs and other ride setting will function similar to OEM, which is slightly cambered in at lower height settings (drive modes).
2. If you only drive in sport+ like I did, aligned wheels at sport+ mode and tires will wear evenly…this is what most folks do.

Also, I would recommend to follow Brabus lowering specs. I think for the newer cars they are only doing 25mm front/rear. They have perfected the specs to meet TUV certification for the German autobahns and roads. I had my C292 set at -32mm front/rear and all seemed perfect at that height. The lowering module was capable of going down to -40 mm but ride wasn’t great at that height.
