No module. Took Peter B's advice and went w/ lowering links for the front and adjust the rear sway bar for the back. Easy to adjust and put back to stock if desired.

One question though... At that height, what happens when you are on the highway and ECU attempts to drop the car an additional 0.4"??? Wont it be TOO low at that point?
Did you install the droplinks yourself?

This is a quote I printed out from Peter B when I took my car in for the install...
"ben at (name deleted, pm if interested) has what are called lowering links (oe german mercedes parts). basically the same link the car has to lower or raise the car but instead of being fixed it is adjustable with a locking nut. he sold me 4 but my mechanic only needed 2 for the front and adjusted the rear sway bar adjusting point for the suspension. the cost is $125 a piece for the 2 and 3 hours installation. # is (delted, pm if interested). its adjustable by sliding the link then re-tightening the link with the adjustable locking nut on the front links then adjusting the rear to accomodate. ive had for about 300 miles and not bottomed out or anything. if you need to cross a spped bump just hit the suspension up button."
