I have never seen a car do that before. It should stay at the level you adjusted the Links to make the vehicle sit at. I think you lengthened/shortened the Links too much. Try to re-adjust them and see how that goes. Usually the max difference from a stock link to the adjustable 1 is about 15mm. That is well over a 2" drop and might throw an error code. I just adjust them about 8-9mm from stock. That's around 1.5" drop.

I lowered my SL55 with a lowering module and I have it set to lower when it stops for a slammed profile look, then it raises a little once in motion.
I think it's a very cool effect that gets noticed!

What I'm gona try doing is setting the links to stock length just like the originals. I will see what happens if all goes well I will drop the car again this time a little bit less thn last time.

Fixed the problem thanks to all you guys for the great help. I did as you guys said put the links in original length and re did them with a little less of a drop. The car sits and drives fine. I will post pictures tomm. afternoon.
