S63AMG Lowering/Suspension Options????

What is the best way to go about lowering an S63AMG?
Lowering module? Links? Any other suggestion?
What are pros/cons to each option?
Which name brand do you recommend?
Details will be most helpful.
Thanks.

Lowering modules are hands down the best way to lower your new S63.

Here are the few ELM's that are in the game.

My List from Top to bottom
RENNtech
pro:
In my opinion the best ELM on the market. Also the lowest priced at $1195.
This is the only digital ELM, that doesn't use a analog signal to raise and lower your MBZ. The issue with analog is that the signal fluctuates with heat.
The ride height can be adjusted with the turn of a knob.
Con:
You need to spice wires for the installation.

Carlsson
Pro:
No spicing, but not an easy install. You must remove the pins in your harness to use this plug and play feature.
Con:
Uses Analog signal, priced at $1675. Somewhat difficult installation

Brabus
Must be spiced, analog signal. $1895 for airmatic, $2290 for ABC

S63 Lowering/Suspension

What amount does each module lower the vehicle by?
Also, I am assuming I will not encounter any rubbing issues with any of these modules? Thanks for your helpful response.

Kleemann lowering module

I am utilizing the Kleemann lowering module.

It has seperate adjustments and installs under the passenger floor panel by splicing 4 wires. They have a bypass plug to put it back to stock when you need suspension service.

the rubbing will depend on how low you go, and the offset and tires of your wheels.
