Need help with adjusting height of rear suspension of a 2000 S500 w220
Here's my dilemma:
So I purchased an RB tech lowering kit for my '00 S500. I was able to do the simple install myself with some friends and dropped the car, except that the rear was still an inch higher than the front. being the perfectionist that i am, i went back to adjust the rear suspension. (which can be adjusted from the adjusting rod). After messing with it a couple times and bringing it down from the lift it would either be way too high or too low. After 4 tries it looked good, so I took it for a test drive and soonafter heard a sound. Putting it back on the lift I noticed the rear turn angle sensor broke. So I bought the part from mercedes for $173 and we installed it again. After bringing the car down, it is still very low! So low the fenders are pretty much resting on the tires. I'm not driving my car to make sure nothing happens and it's been a couple weeks now since I've been away. Does anyone have any advice for me as to what I should do? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
