playing with the M1 lowering module

I've always wondered what else this M1 lowing module can do. So today I found out. I got a laugh out if it, so I thought I would share


We have the extreme lift mode


The classic drag racing mode

I love the drag racing mode..... Have you ever tested this mode on the track?

I've been going back and forth on purchasing either your unit or the Renntech unit, what's the biggest difference between the two?

Depends on what version you are talking about. V3 you need a laptop or something every time you want to lower it. The M1 is controlled on the steering wheel. the V2 with Remote, that my brother has in his CLS55 is good. M1's and V2's are available thought me. In find myself rolling around a little lower than I want to for daily driving. however a quick putt on the normal Mercedes "up button" and the car is now at perfect driving ride hight. Might I had I never rub, but riding on the bump stops is not a good idea. Your back becomes the shock absorber.

Somehow I knew meeting you was going to make my wallet lighter. Is this module ready for sale yet? I know you had another thread where you can control everything through the steering wheel buttons. I assume this is the same product. Is there one in stock at the shop as long as my car is already there? LOL

I have the V3 and I love it but its a pain that you have to get a lap top out every time you want to make adjustments or in my case the horrible device that Renntech call "remote".

Does the M1 have the option for the suspension to go back to stock hight at a desired speed?

I called Renntech yesterday to get the V2 with the remote and they do not make or have any remotes any more. Since they went to the V3, the V2 remotes are done.

Why would Renntech stop making the V2, its not like there was anything wrong with it, right?

They never made the V2 in the first place. The V2 is still being made.

If people want the V2. with remote. I have worked out special holiday pricing for the first five people who order from our sister company loweringmodule.com. I'm awaiting a coupon code to be generated, that you will enter during check out..

It seems group buys never really pan out, So lets try this instead.

MBH exclusive price for the first five orders is: $999 for V2 with REMOTE!!!!

I will take it! Im first. Cmusngi (Chris) just pmed me this deal! Thanks Chris and thanks Hooley! Let me know the code and when to pay! Guys are selling these used for $700 with no remote.....this is the deal of a lifetime. W/O the remote it is usless and a pain in the *** to have to adjust the height.

P.S. This is unless you are going to offer a sweet deal on the new module that is built in to the dash!

Quick question if you even know this, the car is STAR lowered, do I have to set it back to stock or will it just revert to this anyways?

Best mod out there. The STAR lowering blows. I hate how it lowest.automatically at 75. Pisses me off. The ELM does not lower unless you tell it too. I should have taken it out of my E55 before selling it.
