Lowered my GT63 w/ module (Pics)
I snagged one of the modules from the LoweredBenz guy on IG. Results were great. I went with a custom -30mm up front and 26mm in the rear over the -32mm default setting.
Takes 30 seconds to lower your ride and is very easy to use. Total cost was $750 and the module took about a week to show up to me in the states. I am still rocking the 12mm wheel spacers to flush out the wheels. The photos are taken in the "Sport" setting on the car. The car gets a little lower on the Sport + setting and the ride is still excellent.

I was thinking out going with a lowering module. How is the ride on comfort at a lowered height compared to standard height?

The ride is effectively unchanged from a ride comfort level. Sport+ is still jarring, Comfort is still comfortable, Sport is a nice combination of the two. The car does have substantially less body roll and handles better given the lower center of gravity.

Jesse love the look- your car has "re piqued" my interest with the GT--- are you ok with not having that dynamic package or the minor bump in HP? What else does the 63S have that the 63 does not?

The GT for me was a better buy. I have a Huracan as my weekend toy and track weapon.

Quick question for you guys as I don’t know anything about ride height, camber, wheel fitment. I was reading about how lowering the car can cause tire wear issue as the camber or the tires change. Is that a concern? I’d like to pick up on the OBD2 lowering module. I also was reading about the RENNtech module that raised the car at 30 feet to avoid clearance issues. I have the 21” wheels on my GT63. Thanks in advance.

As you drop the car you will change the camber of the tires/wheels (more negative) but if the drop is not hyper excessive your camber wear should be fine. The key will be keeping the toe corrected or in spec range to avoid scrubbing. I lowered my E63S even more than Jesse did on his car and camber was fine along with wear. Yes some of the true handling and performance might change but these arent track cars for most so it would be negligible IMHO.

Love the stance and beautifully done.
Would you mind sharing where you got your spacers and bolts?
I ordered the lowering module and its already on the way.

Looks great, but why does the Amazon module sell for $710 for the GT63, but the module for other models for $510? Looks like the same module from the same seller.
