Does it rise to stock mode ever? Like at higher speeds? I would want it to stay the height I tell it to at alll times. I know the renntech raises at 80 or so which I find quite bizzare becasue thats the speed i cruise on on the HWY so it would be consatntly raising and lowering...

Your car looks amazing. I d get a flat badge too, but i can see how the standing star looks cool with what you have going on there! What wheels are those?

I don't know if it raised at 80 but it does mention in the Carlsson manual that it automatic raised and lowered on certin road surface condition..kinda hard to verify when you're driving

I'm not a big fan of flat hood emblem, sorry but I think it kinda gay
Wheel are LUXE aka MRR GT1, same wheel different cntr cap. 20x8.5 & 20x10, still waiting for my back MBZ center caps.

This is what i want from a lowering module. Will this ELM do this? If not, whos will?:

1. Lower enough to have the tires slightly tucked when parked.

2. Raise to 1" above the tires when driving.

3. Still be able to raise it even higher to come in and out of steep entrances

G. are you sure on that? I am under the impression that they all lower @74 MPH.
Same as the stock, and when you slow it returns to a higher position.

Well, when I called Renntech and inquired about the V3 a few months ago, from what I understood, it raises to stock at higher speeds (80 if I recall correctly). Unless I was tripping which happens some times

I just installed my Carlson c-Tronic lowering module and for some reason when parked it sits correctly but when I drive to the end of my driveway it lifts up pretty high. Any suggestions?
