Take a pair of wire cutters and cut all the air lines in the airmatic system. that will drop it. Seriously though, why do you want to deface a beautiful car like an s. It is not a honda civic, and you are not on fast and furious.

Just wait. Eventually they all drop on their own. Or use links from Adjustable Air Ride or Ghostlinks.

He wants to look cool for all his buddies. Then when he takes a girl out on a date, she will appreciate the trauma the car does to her L4/L5.

Now this is one of your better posts. And somewhat humorous for a change. It seems that you speak from experience here.

I think he's got more experience with wanting to look cool for his buddies. Driving around in an S class with a wood wheel and a crumpled rear end with zap straps holding the trunk down.

I am against lowering cars, putting on aftermarket rims(for most applications), putting on stickers for HP gains, ect.

I'm all for driving around cars with afteraccident mods.

This is what I tell everyone who asks about lowering cars: three out of four cars that get brought in ask us to remove lowering links/modules ... the fourth car, we lower.

Take that how you will.
