Lowering it that far is EXTREMELY untasteful. This is not a hoopty car, its an S-class for goodness sake. It looks horrible. Also, this is EXTREMELY bad for the suspension (ball joints, bushings, struts, etc.). Good luck, and may you have more tasteful modding in your future.

4cm is more than recommended . I have got Eibach springs but have not installed them yet , these lower the car by 3 cm not too much .They say if you more than this you should modify your suspension as well
And if your car is Airmatic , you could end up airmatic failure because of these mods . I recently read a comment about Airmatic failure from using staggered wheels

That is not practical and bad for the suspension is another matter
and will have to rise a bit and re-check my comfortzone hehe .
It rides like a cart now and its really sticking to the road
.I have compared to Lorinser S-Klasse ride height and looks about the same ,but must admit when driving 70Miles + its too uncomfortable, as the chassis then lowers 1cm more..

Anotherr spoilerr
Another spoiler added! I think this gives the car sort of Maybach-look.
In the mean time raised
the vehicle back to original ride height!!
Will lower appropriately again when the wheels are on.
More mods to follow etc.
