Just received the lowering module for my 2019 S560 today from mwmods.com .
I inserted the Hand Held Lowering Module into the OBD2 connector and got the message on the media screen that I was in factory mode.
I set it to LOW and it dropped 40mm (just under 1 finger gap). I set it to custom before I changed anything and it set to 32mm lower (1 Finger gap)
I set it to factory and it went back to a 3 finger gap above the tires.
The floating body feel is gone when riding 20mm lower.
I'm going for almost a 2 finger gap for everyday use.
You can adjust from a (+40mm)-(-70mm) in Custom mode
$500 US dollar
Definitely worth the money if you want the look!!
The mud flaps you see have been painted body color (Anthracite Blue) and then clear coated.
Read the description under each picture.

This is awesome man.. so you can change the height setting of the tune at anytime including while driving while also staying in comfort right?
does the low ride setting feels like factory comfort or closer to sport suspension settings?
You change the setting while in Park. Insert the module into the OBD2 connector, select your desired ride height setting (Low, Factory or Custom), remove module from OBD2 connector, drive away with new setting.
So it's sorta on the fly but not while traveling. I find the hardest thing to do is just pulling it out of the OBD2 connector when finished. The Comfort setting in the dash stays the same. The comfort level felt in the seat of your pants goes down as you lower the vehicle past a certain point (the point the floaty boat feel goes away). The lower you go the harsher the ride as with any vehicle but by no means is unacceptable or unexpected.
edit: I believe you have Magic Body Control not Airmatic suspension. Check and see if it works on your car.

No, mine is the 4-Matic, so it has Airmatic. Does the Low setting matches European factory setting? Last question, do you mind sharing a photo of the height adjustment screen using the module when you get a chance?

Hey @MBGuy2022, I wanted to ask, what setting did you end up using? I am going with the default "low" and looking at the wheels it feels that it might be a tad too low, plus the front and the rears don't appear to be at the same level of gap. I asked my mechanic to check the tyres after a few thousand Km and take the car for a ride, to see if he feels that an alingment is needed and concluded that it wasn't needed. I don't mind the little loss of comfort since as you correctly said, the boaty feeling is gone.

Default Low 40mm is too low to drive with IMO. I'm at 25mm as a daily driver. Front and rear can be adjusted individually. See pics below.

The Low setting is 40mm. The Euro setting is 1" or 25.4mm lower.
1 finger is about 3/4 inch.
. 25mm or about 1" which is perfect 25mm or just over 1 finger Current Custom setting I put in - to change settings move Left or Right on media knob to select front or rear then up and down on media knob to adjust reading This is the OK message you get after the Security Access window It's checking itself against the VIN number which was preprogrammed into the HHModule Custom settings from module designer - Can be changed Select this when you want to change the Custom settings - Push down on media knob to select If you want the preset Low setting (-40mm) then select this by pushing down on media knob If you want to go back to the Factory setting select this window and push down on media knob - Factory is about 3 fingers or 2.25" gap Select this window to put vehicle height at your preferred Custom setting

Hey, I just checked, on my unit at least, the default Low was at -32mm. I've increased the height a bit to -27mm both front and rear. I am not noticing a massive difference (obviously), but it feels a wee bit smoother whilst still avoiding the boat-y feeling.
This thread discusses suspension lowering module from MWMODS company.

- set the ideal height separately front and rear axle
- setup takes 30 sec, no wires, pc or other unnecessary devices
We have been known on this forum for 5 years, our managers are easy to communicate with, professional and always loyal to our customers.

Love the chip based mods. I'll be ordering some soon.
Then don't forget to get their Hand Held Engine Tune. I got that too just haven't plugged it in yet due to exhaust flap and spark plug issues which are currently being fixed at Mercedes. It's been there a week already. Can't wait to get it back!
I put the ride height back to factory when I dropped it off.
That is a very convenient feature of this module is to be able to go back and forth when needed. Same on the engine tune module (Factory or Tune Programming). More on that module later.

I am on the fence about purchasing this. I don't want to risk my engine just to get a bit of acceleration and I am unsure as to its reliability.
Also, if I were to compare with Renntech, why are they so much more expensive (plus I not sure if I can even find them in EU), on what appears to be a very similar service? I'd love some input from people with mwmods past experiences (mostly reliability, engine codes etc) before I would take the plunge.

Agreed with the premium customer support and super responsive nature. I got my module for height adjustment today, process was super-smooth from first inquiry, answering questions, till ordering. Looking forward to try it out this weekend. I texted them my VIN and they got back to me with all possible scenarios. Straight forward answers with a list of all prices based on my VIN. 100 bucks for most on/off simple coding services was well justified and unbeatable, but I've had most of the simple stuff coded already. Their WhatsApp message support was timely and professionally written. As for why I chose the module, Being able to adjust height back and forth by myself is a must-have feature as I live in an area where sometimes I take routes that require the normal US spec's height as a peace of mind. For road trips and traveling to other states, I'd rather do US height too. I'll be using lower height adjustment when am in-town.
As for price or cheapness or whatever, as a client, I always prefer to have the prefect balance between paying the least amount of money combined with ease of use/coding "i.e.: module vs coding, same day cable remote coding vs major equipment , etc.". NWMODS have the perfect balance in my view and the idea of modules is just brilliant and convenient.

Thank you more for the extended and honest review. Our team is very pleased to read feedback from our satisfied customers.
Update:
After driving around and playing with different ride heights I have found -20mm to be my preferred daily driver setting. It's low enough to make a difference but not so low I hit parking spot stops.
I had a friend of mine say "It looks lowered". I was so proud.
Love this upgrade!
When working under the vehicle remember to raise the vehicle using the button in center console. Put it in the fully raised mode. I was able to work on the exhaust flaps with no problem this way.
I also use the lowering module and Stage 1
They have a special offer if you buy both
As I recall, any function can be purchased remotely for $100, but there is nothing else on my car to activate
How much is the discount and can the discount be applied if Stage 1 is purchased after the lowering model has already been purchased?

I just got mine today - and upon plugging this pos in i get *Diagnostics Active* on the radio screen, then it plops back to the radio. Total waste of my time >< (And 640 bucks shipped)

give them a call. I had an issue loading my update, and they were able to get it worked out.
After a bit of frustration, the update worked as promised.
