Lightbulb AIRMATIC II suspension

hi guys!

At first: I am a new member here at this forum from Stuttgart, Germany

I hope I can be helpful to you about lowering the AIRMATIC II and ABC systems.


I have the new E 55 AMG V8K (W211) and I am going to lower it about 60 - 70 millimetres.

Here in Germany there are 2 ways to do this:

1.) You could lower your car by the electronical way. Which means that the "Steuergerät" (sorry but I don`t know the english word for the electronical "head" of the car) must be manipulated by the computer with an external "mini-Steuergerät"

costs: about 1.000,-€

the problem: not all systems allow to lift the car higher again by the driver. It means that your car will always be low.
By the way your warranty is lost.

2.) It could be mechanical. A specialist here in Germany, called MARIANI is the best u could go with your car to get it lower.
The driver could still lift the car at about 40 ~ 60 millimetres.

You tell him how you want your car and he is doing that.

I am gonna send U pictures when my car is finished by him.

Here examples of his work:
(sorry for my bad english)

OMG!!! You just make me cry (well not really) , Man, that's the sweetest car i've ever seen. Yeah Tezta is right, that's not just an ordinary lowering, it's SLAMMED, and the good thing is you still can raise the height, damn how good is that. I'm drooling all over it
