is the procedure to lower 07 w221 s550 with das/star same as w211?
i know that this isnt w211 related but the sticky is in this section so ill gie a try.
Is lowering a 07 s550 the same procedure as a w211/w219?
Also what are the inclination angle values, did some searching only info i found was for s65 with abc.
Already asked shardul as his thread was the only other one i found but he doesnt remember.
any input is appreciated.
thanks

Should be virtually identical. The inclination values are listed in the calibration section. I would recommend you go with inclination angles that are at the extreme range of allowable but still inside the range.
Example using my W211: The rear drive axle shafts should be at a -0.9 to -1.5 degrees inclination. A more negative inclination means the differential end of the axle is lower than the hub end of the axle. Therefore, if I wanted to lower my car but still stay within the Mercedes recommend range, I would set the rear axle inclination at -1.5 degrees.
If the front inclination range is +3.4 (highest) to +2.8 (lowest) target +2.8 degrees.

Caveat, the above depends upon if you have ABC or SAS suspension. Still, I would think the calibration would be similar.
