Lowering Springs on '03 SL500

Has anyone had lowering springs on an '03-'05 SL?
I've heard that the car will not allow itself to be lowered by raising itself back up.
Any info on this is much appreciated!

Thanks!

You can only purchase Lowering Module from various tuners. There is no such thing as lowering springs for the SL. Or you can get the entire AMG Nurburging suspension for the SL.

There are no lowering springs.
Hell, I don't think there are springs in the car. Remember it's got those ABC compressors?

The Brabus module work great in my car. It lowered it about 1.25 inches, and it raises up to varying levels like stock. All you have to do is plug it in. Harris could hook you up. About $1800.
