You sure about that? I have heard the 245/35 and 275/30 setup rides horribly not only on S-classes but also on SL500's.

Thumbs up the ride

that is the set up . and I have had 20x8.5 all around before with 255 perellis and the ride was about the same. the 255 has a bit more side wall.

Smile 2.0 drop is Max

that is the lowest I would go .
eny lower and you will set the Airmatic or ABC suspension warning light on
then the car will be unsafe and in default mode
also you will damage the upper control arms and shocks .
however I have 30,000 miles on mine with 2.0 drop and no problems at all .....

Thumbs up aligment

bear aligment in San Gabriel is the best I have found so far
they are one of the few that can understand how to adjust camber for a lowered car. see Bob

Ralph, do you know how to lower the Airmatic setting via the MB computer system? It is supposed to be able to be lowered about 1/2 " to be set up like the Euro cars. Do you know where to access this in the Airmatic system? This is about all the lowering I want.
Thanks
