01. My S580 seems to be in "Safari Mode" all the time. I did raise the car to avoid scraping the front valance but it just seems to be taller than when I took delivery. Any idea on how to lower it?
02. In the past I had Carlson lowering module in my S-Class and loved it.
03. Has anyone here lowered their car?
04. Anybody use a electronic module?

New to MB and the site... however, I've been quietly perusing the forum for a while. I installed Ghost Links and the drop is perfect.
Tip: Grab a heat gun or a blow dryer to heat the factory links up a bit. They easily peel off--and you don't have to worry about snapping the plastic leveling arm ball joint (Why the made it plastic is anyone's guess).
I noticed you choose the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and went larger on the side wall. Can you please share your experience with the larger side walls. I have the same wheels and I’m considering increasing the side wall size on my new set of tires.
Lowering links would be my last option.
I had a module for my W222 and it worked really well.. got it from MWMods, I’d contact @egorijjj_mwmods or check their website. I liked the flexiblity of the module approach.
Another option is coding and in this case EleBest Pte Ltd or Max ( @EleBest ) is the only guy here who knows how to code MBUX and that I’d trust; I used him for other coding stuff and had good experience.
Hey Chop, I have your twin (colorwise) and also installed Ghost Links. Is the first picture you posted in a specific mode? Mine looks likes that in Comfort but pretty flush in S+.

I am picking up a 23 S class in a week or so and want to get it lowered. I am not keeping the car long so I figured links is my easiest/cheapest solution to close that massive wheel gap.
Any one have recommendations on where to buy/install the links in the Boca Raton, Florida area?
@Slammed63 : Did you pick up the new ride and lower it already? I opted for Ghost Link brand lowering links in place of OE. Stock 21's lowered in Sport+ mode.
