Wanted to what the best way to do it was. Lowering links or a module. I have heard people doing it different ways but wanted to see what you all thought was best. I have a 07 e63.

Thanks

Had a kleemann module was nothing but headaches. Went with lowering links and haven't looked back!

Or you could go with Star Lowering.

Star as in the mechanic thing right?? My wheel guy is telling me lowering links but I wanted to get your guys opinion as well

Module.. You can adjust the height in a few mintues.. Going from 4x4 (stock) to absolutely slammed

Biffed

What's the best module out there and how is the install?

Renntech ELMV2 or Hoolyboys ELM is nice too. I have had Renntech on 3 different cars and it is the best.

LoMo M1 is great as well. I'm getting my car STAR lowered next week as I don't need the car slammed and still maintain the ability to raise it.

look up lowering the car with washers... Awol helped me with this a few weeks ago you can trick the sensors

glima

here you go.

That's a Renntech version 1 (last two digits "98"). Renntech v2 (last two digits "99") is the best choice, especially with the remote control for it. Allows you to raise or lower on the fly.

Here's a DIY install for a Renntech v2. Should give you an idea of what's involved:

If you want plug and play, H&R or Lomo

H&R ...Ehhhhh

Biffed

I'm with you on that. I had h&r on my 750i, not a big fan. I thin the way to go is rentech v2. I really like the lowering and lifting with a push of the button. Now just explaining to the wife why I have put almost 5k into a car I haven't even made a payment on yet. Hahahahaha.

Once I receive my Star and play with it, we could meet up and get it lowered-no charge. hate all the people out there that charge for everything.

Going to lower mine a tad as well.

Biffed

Yikes. That's probably going to require some assistance from somebody more mechanically inlined than me. I may go for it but may not. Thanks for the info though.

Biffed

Can you let me know how that works out?? I like that option as well.

Hey Biffed- Craig from the forum hooked me up with Jason and Greg over at Buckhead Import Performance in Atlanta and they told me links was the way to go. Was out in your neck of the woods last week ripping up the roads in my friends 458 Italia. CA rocks. The E63 has a great rake and looks great. They have a great paint guy who tricks out high end motorcycle tanks and he blacked out the grille. Awesome job. Had the exhaust changed out and had it tuned. Now, it is getting the sound it deserves.
My vote is the links after talking with these guys who do this stuff all day long. Good Luck.

I researched (in depth) all realistic options (while washers are interesting, they didnt make 'my' cut). Came close to going ELM, but hesitated due to the wiring mods required (though some are indeed fairly minimal). Ended up going with links (at less than half the price) based on feedback (like stevieg) from the shop that installs all of these options often. Car is gorgeous, ride is great, haven't look back...

lowering links from TOTAL AIR RIDE. Had them on for close to 2 years now with no issues at all.

Links.

links or STAR, with STAR it takes a few attempts to get it right.

Worked like a charm. If your tech knows what he's doing you could get it done in a half hour. Mine hadn't done it in forever, luckily I had my laptop on me and I used our very own STAR thread to take him step by step. Spent about an hour walking around the car with a tape measure and got it done. This is as low as I'd want my car anyway, and I'm very happy with it.

Same for me too. Star lowered yesterday, sits nice and still rides ok. Can raise the car when the roads are rough.
