How Did You Lower Your 2012-2013 AMG E63

Want to lower my 2012 AMG E63 RWD with 20" wheels, but with so many different options out there. I want to hear from members who has already done it.

I want to be able to rise or lower my car while driving or at lease while I'm inside of the car.

I also want the front and back end sit evenly unless someone can talk me out of it with pros and cons.

Thanks guys.

since our cars the rwd version it only has airmatic in the rear of the car, a lowering module wont work since it will only raise and lower the rear. What you are looking for is pretty much what people call "bags." cost is around 6-7k. With this youll be able to adjust your height while driving. Attached is with the air suspension fully down. At drive height its almost the same as installing lowering links. Also im going to wuste(same weekend as amgfest) might take the socal amg caravan so you can check it out then if interested.

Holly cow. That looks sweet. It is slammed to the floor. How does it ride if I may ask compares to the OE airmatic ?

How much does it lower the car when riding on regular driving height ?

Yeah, I'm taking the caravan to Vegas for the AMGfest and would love to check out your toy. Thanks for the infor.

Lowering springs in the front and lowering links in the rear. This setup runs $1099 shipped and also works with the CLS63.

You can adjust the height to what ever you want. The ride is a little stiffer than stock, think like highend coils

How does dramatically raising and lowering the car on command like this affect the alignment?

Thats the downsides to these types of suspension if you tend to mess with how high and low you drive. However, what you can do is find a height you drive at and get the car aligned to that height. Therefore when driving, alignment is always what you aligned it to. I only park low, since Im a fan of the look.
