stock airmatic inclination angle
I have a 08 s550 and was trying to lower it through altering calibration settings, ended up messing it up and need the stock inclination angle.

they don't really have one.... each car comes out different, you'll have to guess. As I'm always told by indepenant specialist - dealers have special inclination tool that links up with STAR / XENTRY you fit one each corner and press go and it wobbles about and locks in the settings
you can get at dev mode and mess about but its rather random and you need totally flat ground and lots of patience
we've done mine twice but you need to go for a drive, top out on air lift a few times and keep rehashing over and over.... then the car seems different the next day anyway
a better way would be to increase ride height over stock then use short rods on level sensors to get the drop and leave the car in comfort. People make kits. As it is its too soft in comfort and too brittle in sport. (plus of course the gearbox gets messed with as does the cruise control if you have distronic plus and change drive modes) the car is just a disaster all round - would love it if the idiots that make kits to convert back to proper suspension would actually give a clue what spring rates, ride height and damper calibration they gave the car. no doubt you could make it far better.... but without any ability to jack the back up for a full set of passengers and some luggage
