Lowering a 2004 S430 4-matic..

Hey guys. I have a 2004 S430 4-Matic that I am looking to lower, perhaps 'stance' if you will. I've been browsing this site for days and honestly cannot find anything about this. I was thinking maybe I could use STAR to change the values in the computer for start-up ride height, but it seems no one knows for sure. Thanks for the help in advance.

the easiest/cheapest to lower your car would be to use the washer method or to purchase adjustable links. either way would be basically adjusting the ride height sensors of your car. personally, i'm using links from adjustableairride.com. i have no personal experience with lowering via STAR, but from what i had read, it won't "slam" the vehicle. judging by your use of "stance" i can only assume you want your car to be pretty low.

Where can I find info about this washer method and adjustable links? I am pretty familiar with adjustable endlinks, used them a lot on my Volvos and a couple of BMW e30s I've had.
