Options to lower suspension on E55

The beast is going to get 20" wheels and to fill the wheel well gap, I plan to lower it a bit. What are the pros/cons of each method (ride, comfort, handling, etc...? How did you do yours and why did you choose that method?

Washer Method - Cheapest method to trick airmatic
ELM - Which one did you choose?
Etc..

Thanks in advance.

I would just do a search on these forums and you will find all kinds of info.

ELMs are adjustable whereas the other methods are not...but much more expensive. The dealership and tuner shops can do it via the Mercedes STAR diagnostics which is what I did.

Get the ELM from RennTech if you care about ride quality.
