I agree.. I bought the module because I thought adjustment was going to be easy.. Having those knobs hidden and the module inaccessible I dont like.
I will have to do the same thing that Jangy did.. I want it somewhere that I can get to it without taking the car apart.
Adam: You should give Renntech some feedback and see if they can extend the wiring harness and expose the control knobs.

Also, does it ride with the DPE rears? I won't get the painted rims till monday and my spare rears are in Irvine, but I wanted to show the fellas the module at tomorrow's meet.

Rims won't be ready til Monday, so I can't show off the offset but it still drops nice and low.
No bouncing at all even at the lowest setting, but don't forget I have 18s.

In all, when you are going 80mph and up, it is as if the unit is not there.
If all this is correct, I may also be using my links to get the ride the way I like it and then mess with the module for "looks"

Adjustable Lowering Module
RENNtech's new generation lowering module now available!
This all new lowering module does away the analog control of competitors and replaces it with a module that is controlled by four digital microprocessors. Digital control eliminates the temperature variations as well as any inconsistencies of the older generation modules. This module will fit any ABC or AirMatic Mercedes using a user selectable switch.
The digital design also allows for a module that can be adjusted to provide any height between stock to a ground slammed 50mm lower. This is achieved by individual wheel height adjustment. Using eight position rotary switches the user can adjust each front wheel and the rear axle height individually.
This revolutionary device is encased in a watertight molded ABS enclosure and utilizes an automotive grade waterproof electrical connector. All required hardware as well as a comprehensive installation manual are included in the ready to install kit.

Really Nice! I have to say the smoked tail lamps just finished of the sleeper effect! I cant wait to have them done on my car. By the way the Suspention looks wicked low! Can you still lower and raise your car VIA the interior factory setting as well?
Last but not least your car while in motion looks very in aggresive!

I had my tuner do it. They spent a good 5 hours on it, but they extended the harness AND actual pins so that I can access it as I feel.
By the way, changes to the settings DO not take effect until car is back in park, so there is even the safety feature in case someone's leg happens to kick it.
