ABC height adjustment
Good day, I have a 02 s500 with ABC. It was pointed out to me that if I wanted to lower the car a little that I could use the adjustment on each wheel. My question is by doing this would I mess up the ABC system? Thanks for your time and help...

The vehilce can be lowered slightly by adding a small washer under each of the level sensor mounts which just gives a false ride height reading to the ABC control unit which it brings back into range by lowering the car.
Because the ABC system already lowers the car as you drive faster this can make the car much lower than std at high speed.
The safest option would be to get a Kleemann/Brabus/Renntech/Etc lowering module which will lower the car only at lower speeds/stationary without negitively impacting the high speed ride height.
