My SL65 and E55 are lowered via STAR. I think it is one of the best ways, since it's so seamless. The STAR system allows you to lower the car but it has it's limit. I personally would not exceed that limit but shims have been used by other forum members. I'd try to stay away from that, personally.

Shims? are you sure he wasn't talking about....
the crash bolt kit that alignment guys like to use? Seeing as there is little or no adjustability in the camber, these cars do get lots of negative at low ride height. If that's what he's talking about, that's not a bad thing. My last two SL's have been lowered thru SDS with no problems at all.
