We lower the cars. But we use the Star diagnostic system and a MB master tech.

Unfortunately, the only place that we can currently do it is in AZ.... but the results are great! On our MB page there are a couple of shots of my SL55.

Where are you located?

RENNtech is the only digital ELM out on the market, it also does not require any splicing of wires.

Give us a call if you have any questions.

I would go with the Kleemann one. What part of CA are you in?

Make a trip down to TAG Motorsports in San Diego. They can do the install for ya

I am VERY, very confused. Some posts state that it is not a good way to go to have the MBZ dealer lower the car with their starmark computer because above 55mph and 85 mph, the car lowers even further and bottoms out the suspension. Is this the case? What is the propper way to slightly lower the car without cutting any corners on cost? I would obviously like to save some money, but want to do it correctly. Any places in L.A that have done great jobs for fellow forum members? Thanks guys.

Had my Carlsson lowering unit installed in San Diego but the shop has since closed. 30,000 miles not a hiccup.
