Lowering via Star/SDS
I'm looking for someone to lower my SL55 via the Star/SDS. I'm located near Daytona Beach. Anyone in Daytona Beach, Orlando or Jacksonville that can do it?

I lowered my 2003 with SDS and was only able to take out 1/2" before the voltage ran out of range. A newer car might fare better but as Gfear pointed out, links will probably give you the best result.

So... after lowering It was not super aggressive once you reach that 3v mark, or just before that.. For me, still having a stock wheel setup I'll take the small drop as well. Its better than nothing lol.

I sell Links all the time to people that have wasted money trying to lower via SDS. The vehicle will either not stay low or lower to a customers preference. With Links you can set the vehicle exactly to you liking and you can always sell them if you decide to get rid of the vehicle.

I did both on my CL. Links and SDS. I wanted my wheels tucked nicely against the fenders but when I put the links in and adjusted them to the perfect height and went for a drive the car freaked out and raised up so I had to adjust the links to where the car would accept the new lowered position (not as low as i wanted it to be) and then went to the dealer to lower it the rest of the way with SDS and got it perfect.
On my sl55 I just used the links and it worked great. Funny, you can slam the sl and the computer doesn't freak but the cl is another story.
