Question Newbie here...questions about S500

How you lower a S500? What brand should i choose? and how much $$$ should i expect to pay for this?

Also what size of 19" tire are you guys using? I am thinking to get 255/40/19, coz the 245/40/19 has less choices...

As you should know, the S class does not have a standard springs/shocks. You have to trick the airmatic/abc system into thinking its at a higher height, thus, lowering the car.

read THIS THREAD for more information.

I ran 255/40/19 when I had 19's and that was the best size. There is plenty of tire profile which won't kill ride comfort too much.

I have a set of Pirelli Pzero 255/40/19 with about 60-70% tread left if you're interested. I'll sell them real cheap.. let me know..
