Is this ABC or Airmatic?

Can you share how you lowered the car? Is it possible via SDS/Startek?

Also, does it raise to the original high position when raising the vehicle or is it proportionally lower based on how much you deviated from the original factory position?

It is Airmatic and I don’t know the exact method shop used to lower my car but from what shop foreman told me is that this is original MB software that allows you to lower by 1 inch. The shop is located in Dali City California. Let me know if you are interested and I can provide you with the shop name and phone number and you can ask them all about it. I see that you are local here in bay area.
