Results on RENNtech Lowering Module
I had a few PM's regarding the results of my RENNtech lowering module install. Here are a few pics of the results. Any heighth in between the pictured results can be chosen.

Looks super. That's a large drop from what I'm accustomed. I dropped my former M5 with a Dinan suspension which was less than 1".
Have you noticed difference in handling?
With a 1.75" drop you probably can even sense the difference when you climb in / out of the SL ?

I definitely start feeling my age when trying to get out of the car when it is in full drop. I need to find something to grab onto to pull myself out of the car. MB may want to consider putting in seats like I had in my 06 Corvette. When you turned the ignition off the seats raised your a$$ a few inches to make it easier to get in and out.

I agree, one inch drop is perfect. Full drop is a bit slammed, but I kinda like it. Maybe 1.75 when parked for show off purposes and one inch for cruising. I like the vette idea. i have enough trouble getting my fat a$$ out of the SL at normal height.

For highway driving there is no difference. The beauty of the RENNtech module and the reason why I chose it is at 30 miles an hour the car automaticly returns to factory presets thus eliminating ride and alignment issues.
