I've said it before and I'll say it again. Serge is the only person that I will go to for anything under the hood. Serge and John are good guys who know what they're doing VERY well. I drive an hour out of my way just to get my stuff done by him. You're all in good hands. And I talked to Sun after he had the setup on his car for a while and he only had good things to say about it.

As soon as my Airmatic goes out I'm getting this done.

PM sent on part numbers Serge. I do like the adjustable suspension with the ability to adjust ride height easily via STAR and thinking if we could just tighten up the back it would dramatically make a positive difference with this car.

Any reason this conversion won't work on my '07 E550 4Matic when the air shocks finally give out and my warranty is expired?

No I didn't but I looked through an old pm from Serge to get the info on how long it would take to do the install. Serge is in Hunnington Beach which is about 5 hours south of me. I may either do this mod next year or install the race heads with cams????
