Star Diag lowering
I had an MB tech out to my house today to replace my battery.
While he was here, he was nice enough to attach the portable Star laptop and change the fan setting and to try and change the suspension height.
Unfortunately, he was unable to find the proper module for lowering.
Can anyone provide detailed directions? Maybe I can get him to do it in the shop.
On a humorous note, Star Diag portable runs on Win XP.
Guess what?
It locked and he had to reboot!
I know, ... you're shocked!

They have to put the car on a lift and take measurements and "degree" each corner and plug those settings into STAR. You can guess but that is not the way to do it, and many times it will not take "guessed at" measurements.

Just plug in DAS, go to the ride height calibration section and lower the vehicle. It is VERY simple indeed.
This might be a simple version but its not rocket science at all. You do not need a lift but a level peice of ground is a serious plus.

It takes about 15 minutes but use a good system of measurement to make sure it all is even

Inclination values? Metrics? + or - to up and down?
