How would remote access work? I have trying to lower mine a bit for almost a year. I have tried 2 different mb dealers here in St. Louis and they wouldn't touch it.

Shardul is the man he lowered my car and told me the proper tire size I should run on my CLS55 wheels!

Careful, the links are the worst thing for your suspension w/ regards to lowering. If you don't have a warranty that covers your Airmatic, you're playing with fire.

Thanks cylinder head but I do have warranty covering airmatic and have talked to some pretty knowledgeable people about the ups/downs of links and am going to move forward. I appreciate you passing along your concern....that's why I love this site....always someone watching our backs. Thanks again!

You're welcome. Funny how many experts have differing opinions, I talked to an MB Master Tech (who's a member here) and builds E55's. He told me that ELM's were the only way to go.

I have no experience either way, just passing on what I've heard.

I did mine but I didn't want it slammed so just went 1 3/8" from rim to lip. If you don't like the links I can drop if for you. I'm out of town until later in the month and then will be back in mid Oct. I'm in Fountain Hills.
