Lowering the car using MB Star System
I was wondering if anyone had tried lowering their car using their star system? I've got a star system but was wondering if my warranty would be affected, possible problems and if its been done on a S Class.
Thanks
P.S. Here is a tutorial

I know this isn't what you should really be doing on a S Class, but I went for 20" Vossens instead of 22" and now I'm regretting it. They look like 18" on the S Class so I wanted to lower the car by a tiny amount, not going to ruin the S Class by "stancing" it.

You can probably lower 10mm max. But you will need to have it on alignment rack to get the Romess value. Otherwise it will just reject the height you set on DAS.
Be careful about exceeding tolerance because it affects your headlight aiming. (trust me, I learned the hard way off my 221 when I set height and plugged in Romess value without knowing actual).
Your better off paying the dealer 189 and tell them to re-align but set height to the lowest but within tolerance.

I didn't buy the alloys to look bad. If I wanted to look bad I would have got a blacked out Range Rover with 24" alloys. I just want to lower the car less than a fingers height.
