Lightbulb S-Class ABC lowering problem

Guys, I am gonna be getting a 2003 S600 next year, this will be my frist S-Class. I wanted to know if you put an ABC lowering module on the S-Class (sense the suspension is the same as the 2002 S600). Can you raise the car back up to factory height and lower it to the level that the module take its with a push of the button that controls the ride height already on the dash???

If anyone knows of a way that this process can be done please reply to this because I live on a ranch I will need the ground clearence to get to my garage so I don't scrape the underside of my S-Class. This will also determain what I do to It in the near future as far as tuner body kits.

Thanks Guys

Kleemann makes a module that will allos you to raise and lower the height from inside the vehcle. This module gives you greater control of positions over the factory ABC ride height switch.

It uses its own rotary dial switch. Any Kleemann authorized dealer has them such as Evo Sport

I would direct all questions to an authorized dealer as I have not personally seen the system. I have been told about it however and it sounds like the best one out there.

The thing with the Kleemann lowering module is that NO ONE here has gotten it done, or has seen it personally, from a unbiased point of view.

The people giving information about the module is the same marketing information they are hearing from Kleemann.

So the question is, do you want to get your airmatic/abc car lowered by a method that has been proven, or by a method that no one here knows about?

I'm pretty sure the Kleemann module is superior than the current RB Tech method, in theory. We just need some first hand experience.

Everytime attention is focused on a KLEEMANN product no one on this board has the "no history, unproven" dialogue pops up.

We have been producing this product for years- it is proven and it works wonderfully. If no one has it on this board I guess your stuck taking my word for it!

EvoSport has negotiated a group buy price on the modules for memebers of this board. Check with them!
