Software lowering

I see this thread is very old, but in case some weren’t aware, BenzNinja.com offers lowering to German height (about an inch difference) via software programming. They have mods to do some amazing (truly incredible) things and offer a lifetime warranty on their services.
link to see the lowering difference.

Well, that shows me two things -
1. What my car would look like in Germany.
2. There's no need to make my car look like it's in Germany.

You can buy Italy Background poster if you prefer Italy, but that's not the purpose of the mod


Depending on where where you live, so the roads

The euro lowering makes the car not only look better, but also ride better.

I think the looks are personal preference. I happen to like the look of the car sitting a bit higher. As for ride quality, how does “lower” translate into a “better” ride? Just curious.

I think he means better ride, as in better handling (less boat-like). In terms of ride quality, lower means worse. I prefer the US height, being in US. I like a nice comfy ride and I don't take the car into the canyons like a sports car, so ride handling doesn't matter to me. 99% of the time I drive in Comfort/Eco, rarely ever change to Sport.

Lolol I was thinking the same Streamliner... Lowering a car to make the ride better is a lie to promote a service. Lowering the car in most cases would lead to no benefits as far as "ride comfort" and in most cases it will make it a bit stiffer. You can define lower suspension as a mode to improve ride stability in curves, etc, but definitely I wouldn't buy the claim that lowering it will make it ride "better" because it does the complete opposite for comfort, which is why I prefer to switch back and forth on daily basis depending on my trip, from lower to normal height, via a module.

I had the module from MWMods (@egorijjj_mwmods ) and it works beautifully as far as functionality and look, but 100% the ride was better with the factory US height.
More info about their module from a more recent/new thread is here: https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...ng-module.html

Then why isn't it standard internationally? Why just for the Euro market?
With all due respect for your well-earned reputation, so you say.

Yep, that sounds like a WAY better way to lower your car. The ability to lower and raise on the spot is super convenient, no need to set an appointment and hook up a laptop, multiplex, etc...

Because of the bad roads in some countries, USA is one of them

We are only relying what our thousands of members tell us. Everything is clear as spring water at BenzNinja.
We back up your full car to be able to reverse to stock anytime and also for much faster repairs in the future.
You can try mods, we adjust for free lifetime and if you don't like them you don't pay.
BenzNinja is a service like nowhere else

Then our members never move the lowering after having it lowered, but our lowering is lifetime and you can get it changed within a minute for free anytime
There are no renters that buy only one mod at BenzNinja. 2-3 days testing is free as always.
As we offer free mods, most didn't even pay it.

The few members and clients that chose a module to be able to play around with chose the Renntech rather then a Russia's ally Belarus banned country's module that appears everywhere under several names.
https://www.renntechmercedes.com/ind...owering-module

They rather pay a little more for quality and be a patriot



PS: if you really want it cheap, you can also use lowering links

Every mention of you that I have seen here paints you to be an outstanding resource.
Were I to need any of your services, I would immediately get in touch with you, believe me.
At age 92, limited in many ways, but still driving, and never a DIYer, I just haven't discerned a need. Assuming we still have and are strill driving our '18 S560 that just hit 33,000 miles, it's my intention to go to a newly-found indy for my next service or problem. This would be a first for me, that I learned about here at MBWorld.

Ok I had the (incorrect?) impression that you were based in Europe (England?).

the answers you are getting are “internationally” vague. I can get you a straight forward answer to your question: no he personally is NOT located here in the US and he doesn’t not have a registered US shop location either. I have not even seen a physical address or shop in Europe either. He signs remotely to clients car from overseas. The only thing that happens in US is the renting equipment that you need to rent and wait for it to arrive which comes from a guy or user forum who helps create shipping labels from the US as the renting equipment are circulating from one renter to another, but no he is not physically here in the US.
To me even more important, a US business is a business that pays US taxes here in the US and luckily here in the US we all can see and access all formally registered businesses, and he is not. Sometimes it’s worth it to get users honest and very clear answers

Also, I think you confused that with RJ Automotive. They are the ones that have an official registered business with clear address and registered in England, according to their website https://rjautomotive.net below:

Poor and broken english with AI generated pictures of their "customers" is a good look... Also the account that brought this thread back to life looks sketchy as well.

obsessional following is

What's the relevance? I'm not sure what your criticism is about. I've used BenzNinja several times and have always had great service. I enjoy the convenience of his ability to remote into my car from the comfort of my home rather than wasting a day taking my car into the dealership for something he can fix in 15 minutes. My car is out of warranty, but even if it was in warranty, my time is valuable to me.
