Some Noob questions about ABC and ride height
Hi SL lovers.
I really long to know two things:
1)_ What is the difference, in inches, between the lowest and the highest setting on a stock AMG R230
2)_ Were is located ,on the SL dashboard/console, The button that controls the ABC ride height.
On some pics I have seen a "ABC sport" button near the knob.Is it that ???
Any Help/answers would e greatly appreciated.Thanks

The car automatically adjusts ride height at speed. There are two buttons near the gear shift. The sport button firms up the suspension, but doesn't affect ride height per se. There is another button that will raise the front end for going over steep driveways etc. But to lower the car you need a module or links etc. Do a search for lowering.

We use the MB Star Diagnostic system to reset the ride height. We usually do a 1.5" drop for the lowest setting and the car looks amazing. It also handles better. Definitely a win/win.

The button on the opposite side from the 'ABC Sport' button affects the ride height, but it won't drop as much as that car in the video.

No. YOU can already control the ride height, but it is set pretty high. We use the Star diagnostic system (and a few other things) to reset each level.
