Ok guys, after much research, talking to Harris, Brabus, and the dealer about air suspension settings, I found out something that is interesting and I cannot get more information on it. The dealer told me he has to set the suspension mode to US. But there is another setting called ROW for the air suspension. He said some guys set this to get tighter steering.

Since US cars are made to understeer a bit, I'm hoping/praying/assuming the ROW setting is a much tighter ride and rolls less and understeers much less.

Has anyone had this setting enabled in their car? What do you think? Any information at all would be helpful.

So far aside from this setting change, there are lowering modules by various aftermarket mfg's and tension bars which are better/worse/same as the ones that come with the AMG.

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Gareth

ROW setting is about 1/2 to 3/4 inches lower than US settings. The car will still handle like a pig.

thanks dr. chill.

well setting ROW is cheaper than paying for the brabus lowering module ($1300).

how does one set that?

thanks,
Gareth

It's done by the star diagnostics at the dealer. Most dealers seem unwilling to help. I recommend becoming friendly with a tech and slip him some cash to lower your car in his spare time. That's what I did.
