Boy would I love to know that as well...I used to go to Darwin (SONIC Motorsports) in Santa Clara for lowering via links on my previous 210 but for my E55, I will only use STAR.

MBenzNL can do it, but you'll have to wait until his next trip to the Bay Area.

i spoke to the shop I have been going to and they can lower the car. Said they have done most by installling the lowering module. I told them i have the directions on how to lower via SDS and they told me to bring down the print out and then can do it no problem.

I just picked up an E55 Wagon. Hope to run into you around town one of these days. Any mods on your wagon? Lowered via Star? Pics?

Thx
Andy
