Also,what does this do to the alignment when the car's ride height is changed so drastically?

With the Airmatic, each of the fronts has its own knob and the rear has a single knob. So, to answer your question, you have to turn three knobs to raise or lower the entire car (unless you use the car's own systems which still do their thing). The beauty is that turning three knobs is not that hard and you can adjust rake very simply.

Hope that helps.

I had the car tweaked to my most common use setting and had it aligned. I drive so hard that I don't get uneven wear from camber, etc. Many use the module's mid point as the alignment setting. All up to you. For me it depends what I am doing and what setting it will be in. Most tracks are smooth enough that I can "slam" it and still have enough clearance and travel, so I would align it there if I were off to the track.
Alignment is such a particular thing. In reality, your alignment settings would change depending on the track type. Just using the MB settings isn't the ideal performance setting anyway.

Do the **** have markings on them so you can get an idea of where the setting is at? Wheres those close up shots of your LM box and the ****,do they show what the markings look like?

no there is no marks but that is a good idea. i think im gonna mark mine at the lowest setting i like so if i raise it for some reason i can put it right back down where i like it easy. thanks for the idea bro.

If there is no marks then how do you get the height even?Do you have to get out and physically measure it?

I don't about you guys but that's exactly what I do. Bust out the tape measure and get it down to 1/8" of one another.

No way. That is way too complicated. The knobs have a notch in them. When the notches face the front of the car, they ae at the "0" setting. You have 9 "clicks" to use, so it is easy as **** to just do it by feel. Now, if your car is off to begin with, then you may need one front to be a setting above or below the other to make them even. I had my Airmatic calibrated to avoid that. I just use the module to raise and lower, not to adjust left to right.

Ok,that sounds better.The **** have a click feel when turned so you have some sort of relation to where you were and where you're going.
