SL600 Hydrolic DIY lowering
Any of you guys have a detailed write up on how to do this and do it properly? It's to my understanding that you reangle a "lever" on the pump, basically I'm not exactly sure what to look for. If you guys could help out it'd be fantastic!
Thanks.

There is a high control valve one for the front and one for the rear.The front is mounted to the hydraulic distributor/front right next to the lower control arm.It is attached to the sway bar by adjusting rod,short the lenth will lower the suspension.The rear works the same way.It is mounted next to the fuel pumps/filter.
A few turns will be more than enought.

you can get a control module which alters the readings and lowers the car
you can fiddle with the sensors on the car and make it think it is in a different position which will lower the car
you can lower via star diagnostics

Lowering at the LOW Limit
I read about the 'HI-Limit'; However, can the car be lowered while sitting at the LOW setting with just that manual adjustment ?

[QUOTE=agentMurdoc;1897890]I've been away from the forum for a little bit, but thanks for the info. I'm still actually a little confused. Is this the part that I need to tinker with? If so, is the lever what I need to adjust? I took a couple pictures in case it's something else.
Thanks.
On the first photo is the hidraulic distributor and the high control valve is attached to it(left on the photo).the valve itself is connected to the sway bar by addjusting rod.The adjustment is on the rod.
