I do not drive at this height. I call this mode "for parking". For driving, I use the custom mode -15mm, so that the distance between the wheel and the body does not seem so big. I don't like the way it looks in the stock AMG GT 4 doors or for the CLS. Although I think the lowering is unnecessary for most SUVs.
just got mine on amazon and took maybe a week to get here. super quickly shipped after i confirmed my VIN.
process was easy to plug, play, and lower to desired height in minutes
this is set to "low" setting default "low" setting

Hey, did any of You guys, when You lowered GT 4 door by the module got kind of a bump steer or car jumping, going over larger bumps/potholes on the rear axle (left wheel over bump, jumps right... Right wheel over bump, jumps left)? My car has 37k kilometers so shock fail was highly unlikely but after visiting a dealer they told me my shocks are dead :/ I then tried toput it to the "stock" settings but the problem remains... I have maybe 1 or 2k kilometers with the module.
The car is lowered by 12mm front and rear, so no huge drop... alignment was done...
And obviously the quote of aprox $2500 for the repair is quiet steep.

I would like to note that you have done everything as correctly and safely as possible (made the alignment and lowered the car to the optimal height for the daily driving)
In this case, the car is used within the limits of allowable loads on the suspension, we recommend to return the factory settings of the car and contact your dealer under warranty, the problem in the shock absorbers
As You are saying, i put everything to factory settings, the MB service still wanted to change my rear struts, so they did. Then they said they did the allignment (not sure though). the problem was still there after this service. Then i took it to another service center in my city, they did the alignment again and said it was out of balance so figured the MB service probably didnt do the alignment The car behaves MUCH better then before, but on a wet road it still "jumps" to the inside on larger potholes and especially in wet. I am going to the shop again this week so will see if they can improve on it. I am not sure if it has been cause by the lowering, but i never had any problems like this with another car manufacturers when lowering or doing anything else with the cas, so i am strongly considering getting rid of it, as no-one knows whats wrong with it

You're right, we need to look for a technical fault.
Just got mine lowered by the same guy on Amazon LoweredBenz. Thanks for letting us know about this.
You are not allowed to post these pics anymore. I am a petty man and this makes me jealous. You are now my nemesis- prepare yourself! Do you want to be Lex Luther or Ernst Blofeld?
God that car looks good. I hate you
It really is a great stance and just works really well all the way around. You are a horrible human
