Lowering / Stance

I'd like to lower my '18 E63s a bit and aggressive (new verb) the stance a little bit w/ some wheel spacers.

Any product recommendations?

No mentioning of how much drop it can do with this module. If you can wait, then there should be other brands out there with pretty well the same kind of lowering module.

Company replied and said:
"The E63s only uses air suspension in the rear so the module would only lower the rear of the car. Therefore it would not be a good solution."

Renntech said:
"You got air on all 4 corners."

there are no literature out there to suggest E63s has air at the rear ONLY. Does not make sense at all, esp. how can a $100K car has two different suspension setup.

So, you should avoid that company completely

The E63S uses airmatic all the way around. In Sport, Sport+ and Race, the car lowers itself by 0.6 inches all the way around, iirc.

The W212 E63 had air suspension in the rear and traditional coil and strut in the front.

Those lowering modules are a PITA to install they will splice into to factory harness for the airmatic computer.
Just wait for a bit and lowering links will be available soon.
The ride height can also be adjusted via the STAR DAS computer.

Yes in all modes but Comfort, the car is dropped the amount you stated. In comfort mode the car drops the .6 of an inch once a certain speed is reached.

Im lowering mine the day I get it (if my tech is open) and he can just manually go under the car and do that. He did the same on my last few Air cars.

Yeah, have some not so great roads 'round my neck of the woods, so I'm gonna leave her completely stock on that front.

Have you spec'd out a car yet, Vic?

My dealer is one of the top in the region so they got one of the "extra" Edition 1's sitting at the VPC. Apparently MB holds a few extra cars for the better producing dealers so ive decided to take an ED1 vs the white car I was gonna get.

Ah nice one. I was debating ED1 vs my normal spec. Both were similarly priced, but I settled for the normal car. Comes in at the end of the month, been waiting almost half a year now!

I still think the car will sit high enough for almost all situations and Im hoping the ABC doesnt get anymore taut. Either way, the lowering process is easily reversed vs a spring or coilover swap.

Check out Renntech's new solution for this car. As shardul mentioned, for the W212 platform, the install of the Renntech DLM was 'something'. The new one for this w213 is super simple....ODBII interface. Looks great.
