Are you running on 19s or 20s?

Thanks for all the help.

The rise and lowering between the two settings takes only a second or so and occurs while driving, something the driver never notices. I have looked at it while my wife was driving. Totally smooth...
Yeah that's the best of both worlds. The modules are a good deal more money than a simple set of links but like everything else on a Benz, worth the extra money to do it right.

I kinda just went overboard on the audio system so probably no lowering module for me

They seem more expensive than links but I have chewed through pricey sets of tires with links even with with alignment and supposed camber adjustment.
Add the links, set of tires and alignment and you are beyond the cost of a module.
Plus these modules work for most MB's with airmatic or abc and can be transferred easily (unlike links). So you can keep it when changing cars.
And they are quick to sell, if desired. Lots of people want these

Sorry Mike, didn't mean to hijack the thread!

Am actually having a 2015 S550, so not quite the same but the height of the car defines the sportiness. Sport package and 20" wheels are a perfect look on the W221 IMO and the best combo.

Our current S is already at the perfect ride height stock (lower than the W221), also on 20" wheels, but it was our SL550 that needed a drop badly
Now the car looks perfect with the module and better wheels (SL65 forged 19" front, 20" rear)
