I already posted numerous times that guys at http://www.benzeliteautomotive.com/ can easily do it. They did at least 4 cars including mine. All glory to Alexander from Chicago who posted step-by-step instructions to lower with the STAR. Benzelite boys have the directions that Alex created couple months ago.

Are there any cons such as damage to the car to lower via star? I've heard that lowering via star can add more pressure on the air-matics which would damage it in the future. Not 100% sure, but i would like to know some actually cons in lowering via star?

but I got a email on this thread. My car has about 60k on her after lowering, and no issues. Lowering via star only takes as a lower as its lowest safest factory setting. It's only going down about 1"-1.25". Now if you slam it using link or other methods, well all bets are off. In general, I love the ride and stance. Could be lower, but I'm okay with it. One pleasant side effect, now my tire shine does get all over my rear quarter panels!! That was worth it alone!! Lol

But that's great to hear, I plan on going lower via star soon. There are ways to go even lower after star, by adding washers but that is actually very risky can could damage the air matic. But thanks for sharing, i am definitely getting it dropped. And also i don't understand how people can find people with star, its actually pretty easy because most European independent garages have them, i just kept calling around seeing who sells the service the cheapest.
