How much the car be lower with STAR?
I researched and haven't seen anyone mention this.

I have an appt on Monday for this shop to try to lower my car with Star... But I wanted to know roughly about how much can you lower the car with the Star system ??

If your looking for that slammed look, well you won't achieve it with Star.

I don't want to slam it.... I just want to eliminate as much wheel gap as possible

Then, you can achieve most of that goal with Star, provided that you have someone with the knowledge of the process. I have a shop a few miles from me that knows the process.

damn didn't know that it could get that close with star only. I will go that route w/the e55 sure it wont cost anywhere near the renntech elm. I have the renntech elm V3 on the e500

Am I the only one seeing a discrepancy with star lowering cos at the lowest possible value in star, my gaps weren't that tight so I had to add some washers. On the contrary even with washers, I can still bring her up even higher than stock. What gives

If you lower the vehicle 3/4" with Star, is there also a 3/4" reduction to the maximum height available when you select the raise the vehicle function for extra ground clearance?

If you lower your vehicle with star 3/4", when you press the raise button, it will go probably go back up to around stock height. Hope this answers your question.
