How to Lower 2006 SL65 dealer way or renntech modual?

Called the dealers and they say it can not be done.

Called Renntech they say to buy there modual to be able to adjust the height. Which way is better or is there another way?

Lets' see if this pic come up...

to give you an idea. Pretty low on lowest setting (but looks great parked), middle is about perfect. If you're in the Southeast, call me and I can help you get it set up. Not all MB delaers will do it, but while it's still in warranty, I like the idea of having it done at the Benz store.
Not my best picture, but will give you an idea...

It is possible to lower these cars through the STAR system. We do it all the time. However, the person doing the lowering really needs to know what they are doing.
