Is My 04 E55 Lowered?? or Not??
I'm new to the Mercedes game. I Just got an 04 E55 about a month ago & I'm loving every minute of it. I went from a Scion XB to an E55 (100hp to now 469hp). Big change, I know
.
On to my question. I want to lower my car via STAR DIAGNOSTIC but I don't know if the car is already lowered or not? When parked in sport 2; I can fit 2 fingers snugly up front and 1 1/2 fingers in the back. If the suspension stays at this height while driving I would be happy but once I hit the road it automatically raise in height.
Heres some pics:

Dude, I am being honest. It isn't lowered. You even have it parked on a slight incline that will throw the weight on the rear, raising the front in those shots.
I'm a little confused on what you wanna do? Are you lowering it or not? If you like it as is, then don't mess with it. WHat difference does it make if it is lowered?

. I was considering lowering it via STAR but if it was already lowered in the past via STAR I wouldn't want to have it done twice b/c the second time probably wont do much + it would be a waste of money. (hope that made sense)
Since now I know my car is not lowered, now...I want to lower it
I was looking into the Renntech ELM or the Adjustable Airride links from adjustableairrde.com What should I go with?

Depends where you are and if you have access to a star. If so, I would do that. If not, get the ELM. Last way is the adjustable links. I would never do the washers with so much available.
