As long as you dont get super canned you will be fine. But as soon as you lower a vehicle tires are effected, but its okay its worth it!!! Get alignment done and you should be ok...

well the height goes back to stock after certain speed, so is it worth it getting the alignment done?

i think im only going like 2 or 3 clicks down on the front and 1 on the rear.
by the looks of it the changes are more drastic in height on the rear than on the front as per a member did the review on the C class forum.

My Lomo M1 is set at -4 both front and rear. Each click lowers the car a 1/4 inch so I'm down an inch all the way around. I did not align the car. The shop said I didn't need to. Tires are fine. It handles good too. And most of all it looks great IMO

I'm not quite sure it does that. I'm on the inside and can't see it. I think around 50mph.
