My 03 E55 was able to be lowered via STAR computer, can my 12 E63 do the same?

 

I believe only the rear shocks are using air suspension so STAR lowering wouldn't do much. You'll need lowering springs for the front.

 

You can lower the back via DAS
For the front you will need lowering springs

 

which springs do most people get for the front? So the lowering springs wont hurt the stock air strut?

 

From my research kw HAS adjustable coilover kit and links on the rear.

I've been thinking of doing this myself but don't want it to be uncomfortable. So haven't made the move yet.

 

I'm very happy with my Renntech HAS and lowering links. The car is stiffer in S+ suspension setting, but it handles great! I been running this setup for a year now. Zero issues.

I considered KW HAS, but it didn't come with the links like Renntech.

Vikingdisel: Since you are local, I can give you a ride in my car. Check the Midwest subforum for local events.

 

cool, what area are you from?

 

I live in the city but my car is in Downers Grove.

 

any upcoming meets?

 

Starved Rock cruise Sat, 7/30 hosted by multi car forums (BMW, CTS V, Audi, MB):

I'm planning on attending another Starved Rock cruise tom Sat, 6/25 hosted by Audi forum member.

 

Lowered mine with H&R springs in front and lowering links in the rear. The ride in the rear is terrible but I think I went too low. Plan to go back up at least 1" and hope it makes a difference.

 

who sells the KW HAS, cant seem to find prices or anything?

 

Do I need this or this?

Check the autotalent thread here...they are offering special pricing to members. I just ordered last week...springs and links.

 

Please message us if interested in KW. We are running a special until this Thursday!

 

Thanks for the shout Carl!

 

whats your phone #?

 

You can call or text me.

 

You will need a front and rear camber kit after you lower it because you won't be able to get a proper alignment done after. I used H and R springs for the front and links for the rear

 

Where do you get the kit from?

 

I didn't get the camber kit, I put my car back to stock ride height. But there is a company called K-MAC that sells the kits.

 

I wouldn't do kmac again if they paid me...

 

Anything and everything can be improved - and yes, controversy is always generated by new ideas, design breakthroughs.

To quote Ferdinand Porsche “if one does not fail at times then you have not challenged yourself”.

If you get in contact we will be more than happy to resolve your issue.

Do point out K-MAC were the original inventors of front and rear “precisely” adjustable Camber, Caster, Toe bushing kits to suit all Mercedes Benz vehicles, offering up to 4 times the adjustment range of the current “inaccurate one only position” offset bolts (today’s models having only Toe adjustment).

Actual design we have been manufacturing now since 1993 with strength, durability well and truly proven.

Every problem we have found always comes back to the fundamental lack of a bush mount nut not being secured. This we have long since resolved.

As part of the continual development program for our alignment products a locking device therefore was invented that now makes it impossible for a nut to become loose.
