Parts needed to lower a S500
Is there a company that makes a lowering kit for the S500's or when its all the way down on the factory setting is that as low as you can go.
thanks

i know their is a kit for the s500 so someone im sure will post a link for it its expensive to install though.
what im curious about though is their a way to make the car lower itself all the way down when u turn off or some manual setting to do it. its a very nice effect if its possible

Lowering S500
You can lower it by 1/2" or so via the factory computer and Star Diagnosis Machine. I think cars sold outside of the US are programmed to this lower setting. Its not much, but its free, if you can get it done.

getting it lowered
You need to find a freindly MB tech, who will plug your car into the Star Daignosis machine and reset the airmatic suspension to a setting called "worldwide" or non US. I have already had my ignition timing reset in this way, and will be doing the lowering next time I go to dealer.
Some say you will want to get it realigned when you lower it, but I'm not sure.

hey thanks.... when its on it low setting on the air ride it looks good. Just wondered if there where any other options... In planning on running the 19's i have on my clk so i might not need to go any lower.
