Thanks guys

For lowering there are:

Brabus module
Kleemann module
Star Diagnostics by MBENZNL on this forum...

Spoilers:
Renntech
WALD
I"m sure there are more but I can't think of them right now...

You could also use the "washer" method. Search the forum.
Forum members seem to be very divided about which method is 'acceptable/best'.

My personal 2 cents...go with something that was programmed to lower the car. You have an E55...no need to go cheap on parts...Just my humble opinion...

You can lower your car by spending thousands on Brabus, Kleeman or Carlsson
electronic lowering modules or you can do it by adjusting the airmatic sensor links height with a few washers for 80c. Opinions are divided. I did mine for 80c as did many others. Did three more cars, all travelled 8000 miles since and very happy.
As for the rear deck spoilers, the nicest ones are IMO, Brabus (my photo attached with lowered supension), Renntech, and Carlsson.

Thanks guys for help. i want to do it electronically but it cost a lot compare to the washer mathod. i also want to add rear spoiler too so i think i will go ahead lower the car with washer method and add the spoiler too. BTW anyone has a pics of Kleemann or Carlsson rear spoiler pics? Again thanks guys for the help.

For Carlsson, you can see it here. http://www.carlsson.de

Also, there should be pictures in the picture thread too.

There are also other makers that make rear spoiler, e.g. Dynamic Performance, Schatz, Brabus, etc.

If you are looking into lowering electronically from MBenzNL and you also get some other mods from them as well, he may be able to hook you up with good price for the lowering.
