Renntech Lowering module
The best method is using the electronic lowering module offered by tuners such as Renntech, Brabus, Carlsson.

So far Renntech has the best lowering module in the market to lower the car.

do you know the approximate cost and how low will the Renntech system go? What I want to know is what a good distance to lower the be if I were to put 20" on the car.

The Renntech lowering module allows the car to drop 2" front and rear.

Renntech lowering module unit is $1195 shipped.

I just had the renntech lowering module put in my '03 last week and so far so good. I slam it when I park it and when I'm driving around the city I raise it up 1" with the suspension button
