more information please.....

Did you do the drop and turned car off and it went back up? I am not following....

Kinda sounds like you didn't save the settings or do it from the right screen.

Try raising the car while stopped, and then bringing it back down and see where it sits.

Ok listen up Bob Hodges, go to this thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ts-o-pics.html

Follow the instructions and you will have the cleanest drop ever. I did mine with star and the car looks sporty as hell. You have to make sure you are in the right field of SDS and make sure to save settings. I also added a washer on either side to give the front a .000025 lower stance then the rear. GL!

you should have seen the car moving as you were adjusting settings. Do it again, and go through the tutorial very closely.

Follow the tutorial carefully. You are adjusting voltages not ride height. If you don't see it lowering in "real time" you are in the wrong place. You can only lower a little bit as you have to stay in the ranges for the voltage. Go all the way around ONE CLICK, measure and repeat until you are at the very bottom of the ranges. Use a tape measure to make sure you are even and are not leaning. I measured 25 inches from the ground to the highest point of the fender and I think it looks great. Hope it helps. Just remember, the car will lower as you lower the voltage, also make sure to save the settings.
