Did you lower your car?

How do you find the ride withe 21's? How much rougher? Do you hear more road noise?

Yes, I did ! an inch in the front and 1/2 inch in the rear, I was going to do the renntech module but the shop ( A very famous and good shop which has worked on a lot of Mercedes and high end cars ) recommended me to have them adjust the senor instead and it can totally be reversed when you want to sell your car. The rise button will still work like before ! I know some said using a module is better than the method I used, but I guess it is really up to you ! What surprise me is I don't feel much different from 19" AMG to 21" Lorinser, may be just a little more road noise, I am using Michelin PS 2 and it still ride like a S Class overall !

Wow! Wait a minute - "adjust the senor"? I didn't think that was possible. Can you tell me what exactly is involved?

Holy cow!! CynCarvin32 went to town with lowering his car!

I would NEVER mess with my car like that. Just sounds waaaay too risky.

I'm just going to install my 20" Brabus MB VI's (this weekend) and see how it looks.

I'll post pics when I'm done.
