Lowering Options for the CLE53 AMG

Hey guys, I've had my car for a few weeks now and thought i would be able to leave it at the stock height, that's not the case. It sits too high in my opinion and needs a slight drop, nothing aggressive, maybe 10mm around. Does anyone know if there is a lowering module compatible with this yet? I'm not too familiar with MB chassis codes and know that my old GLC43 253 had a lowering module available. Any help would be welcomed

Hers's my car in some unflattering images.

I thought exactly the same thing since I first saw this model and it's most probably engineered that way but 100 % agree that it sits with too large a gap between tyre edge and fenders, especially if you compare it to the new GT coupe.

I don't have one of these but will pull the trigger on the 63 variant if it comes with the V8 and will want to do the same mod.

It's early days so would not expect any solutions available just yet, but in time the usual aftermarket crowd will have lowered height springs released, maybe even complete coil over replacements.

Hopefully they work well in providing a slight drop with no disruption to everything else - always a case of hit & miss with the aftermarket...

I forgot if CLE 53 has air suspension, if so you could probably use a lowering module?

I dont believe it has air suspension. This is only on the E class/GLE upwards.

I see. Pardon me then, ignore my suggestion on the lowering module.
