Renntch lowering mod is the best. IMO, STAR sucks. My CLS is currently STAR lowered and it automatically lowers at 75MPH which pisses me off. It is perfect ride height until I hit 75MPH. Renntech module overides this.

STAR is simply a mechanic using the MB Star computer to lower your car. It is a set lowering level. But at 75 it lowers automatically and is a PITA. The Renntech module allows you to set the car wherever you want when ever you want with the turn of a dial. Trust me, it is $1200 but well worth the money. You control the height all the time with the turn of a dial. It can be adjusted within millimeters.

The Star method is just fine. all the Renntech module does is intercept the output of the rideheight sensors and then scale them to raise or lower the car. it's a hardware hack that does what star does without the safeguard of knowing the actual ride height which star lowering will know.

Oh and the 75mph auto lower happens with the Renntech module
