Not too good for me as I have a steep angle into the driveway and I clear by about 1/2" when the vehicle is raised to the maximum. Might try a LoMo lowering module which apparently can be set to stock setting when required.

wow, so you are confirming that STAR lowering once done, does not allow you to go to the highest possibly setting in comfort?

Ive heard once lowered with star, that is your new "stock height".. So in comfort it will only adjust up a bit from your new lowered height.. There is no way to go back to stock height unless you adjust it on star again.

Would lowering with STAR cause any premature AIRMATIC failures ?

No more than any other method.

Yep, STAR resets what your car knows as "stock" height. The only way to return to actual mercedes stock height is to hook back up to STAR and redo everything. That is why the ELM is the best solution. On my Renntech V2, there is a setting for stock height. You hit that and it goes back to the origianal MB preset stock height. That is why I always say the ELM is the real only good solution to lowering these cars.
