The Kleeman on my SL55 ruined the ride, it was scary to drive fast, risking your life scary!

I am not familiar with the other lowering modules, but my Renntech (v1) has been pretty good as far a ride quality. I've had "comfort" coilovers on my Lexus and with 20s there was a good amount of ride degradation. I did have a whole lot of bracing on the car though and I am sure that added to it.

I went from 18s to 20s to lowered 20s and the combo of airmatic/Renntech is quite phenomenal. The ride is still VERY acceptable. I also ride on sport 1. I recently went back to my OEM 18s and although I did feel a better ride with more rubber, it was not night and day. The ride is still close.

I am back on 20s and am still happy. Even my wife has mentioned on multiple occasions how pleasantly surprised she is with the ride with lowered+20s. She does not know why I can't make the Lexus ride like this.

I had absolutely no issues at 140Mph in my SL63 on LINKS with 20" wheels. Handing improved actually.
