How to get rid of "STOP car too low" error message

So I lowered my 2002 S500 significantly on adjustable coilovers and now I constantly have the STOP car too low error message on my dash every time I drive the car.

Is there a way I can get the error message to go away even though the cars is still dumped. I've read about tricking the ride height sensors into thinking the car is at normal ride height.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers

okay, do you know where I can get the links or who/how it can be coded?

I guess I can just do some ebay links right? I just need to trick the computer into thinking it's at normal ride height

yes
there you go
you trick the sensors

coding you need hardware and software you don't have
