STAR SDS Lowering Question
I plan to lower a 07 S550 w/airmatic using star. what are the inclination values i need to put after the ride height is set.
thank you

I am not sure about the 07 model year but for my 06 I used 4.8 for the front and -1.4 in the rear. Make sure to use the minus sign before the rear value. I had to work with mine quite a bit before it was happy with the angles. Go in small steps. good luck!

Yes it is ABC and seems to be a quite a bit different than the Airmatic systems on the SDS screens. There are three ride height pages for low, medium and fast speeds. I finally have the car sitting where I want it and got it down about 2 inches. I am now trying to experiment with the other speed settings besides the low speed. It is surprising how different some of the menus are for the W220 vs the W211 on SDS. It takes quite a bit of experimenting to figure everything out.
I would sure like to talk to an experienced tech to figure out the exact procedure for calibrating each of the speed settings vs ride height.

It has the exact same set up with the ride heights for all three speed settings. My thought is that the car was originally set up to lower .4 inches at medium speed and another .4 at high speed for a total of .8 inches when at speed.
The set up for the medium speed at high speed look just like the low speed set up where you can input the height and also input the inclination angles etc.
See photos for what the screenshots look like.

Howdy Shardul, The different ride height setting menus just say slow speed, medium speed, and high speed. And all are independently settable. I have tried to find out exactly what medium speed and high speed are but it is not referenced in the menus.
I plan to do some more testing at speed and see what changes can be made. Do you know if you can actually drive the car and see the ride height values? It is difficult to tell when the differences are .4 inches.
As I have said before the W220's are much more finicky about the inclination values than the E55's that I have lowered. Also the E55's only have one setting vs the three speed settings.

So the 550`s are airmatic from 07 up? Just AMG`s have ABC or is it an option now?
