in that link it says about 2 " between the top of the tyre and the bottom of the wheel arch
you can drop to 1/2 if it makes your day.... won't behave or drive any different
you can do it all in software

the trouble is its all horrid in sport (worse to drive and slower), comfort is a wallowing disaster but with some fluency and predictability, in how it drives thus you can actually push it much harder
what it needed was one standard setting between the two jokes it has as std.

I need the correct data and not "about" and also really depends of what size whell and tires and pressure , need the correct way messure from center wheel hub to top fender or the lenght of the links
i now the software part and i use xentry/das on daily basis also wis but could not find the info in there, but then you also need the romes values to do it right whit software, i have links on the car and need to adjust it to oem height because i take of the 20" whell and mounting the normal whels and have car back to stock
but do not seem anybody has the info here so i just go buy the oem links

wheel circumference needs to be standard…. ESP,ABS, BAS, Speedo, Sat nav etc. all rely on exact data from the wheels speeds not the wrong info from non standard bodging... Unless you want to code in new measurements in deep level engineering modes you won't understand

THE CORRECT DATA FOR THE SUSPENENSION HEIGHT as I wrote in that link, is to fix the merc dealer suspension inclinometers to your suspension arms, connect up to Xentry and push go

bodging at home with a illegal, out of data copy of dealer tools, you have to make it up so about 2" is as good as it gets...

If you are sure its "about" 2 inch then you can share from the data in wis ?

"bodging at home with a illegal, out of data copy of dealer tools, you have to make it up so about 2" is as good as it gets... " What a wise man you are
But no have original paid software and equipment from mercedes and online access, so if you canīt provide the data information from mercedes then please donīt reply

we have about 4 good independent garages that can do online SCN coding in the UK... I don't know of one that has the inclinometer tools to do the suspension the correct way !!!
