does anybody know what the renntech module setting is set to?

haven't checked but i reckon somewhere around sport + height setting! doesn't go any lower when put in sport plus but obviously ride goes super hard! does that make any sense?? ride height button still works if need that extra bit for speed bumps etc

No rubbing


I bought the EBay module having already lowered the car with links, I have a E63S W213 ED1, the links ended up giving the car a bad harsh ride. I left them on and installed the module and went to custom and raised the car 10mm front and rear. I started at 5mm and almost no increase in ride height so it must have been close to or on the bump stops. When I raised the car to 10mm I could hear the air going into the suspension and the car raised itself slightly. The ride difference is now night and day better.

I have fitted 21" wheels to my car and fitted some catless downpipes and fitted an Akrapovic exhaust. The ECU has also been tuned. I am getting 523KW (704 HP) at the wheels on the dyno and 960nm torque. I love this car.

The service from the lowering module seller was great, so glad I did not waste money on the Renntech module.

Well done

I must be speaking Chinese that I am broadcasting offers to help people lower their vehicles with just the purchase of a $30 DIY USB -> CAN adapter, but they'd rather spend $500 on a practically "one time use" eBay module instead.

I guess that's just good user feedback. W213 E63S AMG owners aren't interesting in piddlefarting with DIY if they can just spend an extra $470 and be done with it and I should shut up.

So what would I buy and how do I go about programming it? Would it be possible for it to raise to the OEM rise height no matter what base ride height I select?

I'll have peking duck and chicken fried rice please to take out

CALBenzo

LOL! I would have, but I bought my module long ago, unfortunately!

I'm interested in the CAN bus tools, but lowering my car is not one of my goals.

Eventually a tune, maybe, but my near term goal would be to enable the intelligent headlights to operate at their full potential.

For those that have lowered - have you noticed any increase of tire wear or uneven wear?

nw66

Nope had mine lowered with rentech module 15mm spacers all round Tyre wear all ok and looks the dogs!! Had wheels aligned wouldn't want anymore camber was just on the edge of ok!

ronin amg

Those that say they don't have any wear issues aren't driving very much.

If you don't install camber adjustable front upper control arms you will just wear the inside 1.5"/sidewall edge of your front tires in a few thousand miles.
This arm was able to bring the negative camber from -2.9 to -1.6 lowered.
Fact but there is only one company I know of that makes this arm, F1 Fabrication.

If you lower your car you will get into the negative camber issue. Front tires will suffer the most. There is only one fix for this.

Say I lower 20mm. Is there enough adjustability in the stock alignment settings to get back in spec? Or would I need the arms?

TugboatBill

How much did you lower it?

nw66

Do a 600 miles a week no issues so save your money fella

nw66

Left at rentech pre set from factory i reckon it sits around sport plus height once pre set but can lower to suit from cars command system piece of **** to do pic of car comes up on screen and lower front or back in mm using schroll knob! everyone has there own opinion i drive mine hard its not a princess car its supposed to be driven how AMG intended! just telling you how mine is! maybe its different in UK

ronin amg

Well you must have the magic tire option and maybe lowered has changed it's meaning across the pond because three sets of front tires in 14,000 miles tells the truth..

ronin amg

You'll just create more negative camber than the already factory setting of -1.9 camber.

I will be pulling off the custom upper arms on my E63s wagon with OEM rubber bushings soon in order to replace them with a set that will let me dial out even more negative camber.
I want to see how it will be going from my now -1.6 to -1.2 so I'm having another set made with OEM rubber bushings.
I could make you a great deal on my current set which would be perfect for a 20mm drop if interested..

TugboatBill

As best I can determine, the Renntech module defaults to a .85"/F .75"R drop which is a long way from your drop (almost twice that?).

TugboatBill

I may take you up on that. I'm interested to see what you eventually come up with as a cause in your other thread about the front wear.

I removed several posts for flaming and baiting. Thank you.

I'm getting another set of wheels next month and will be playin with even less negative camber and toe settings to see if this makes a difference..

MTV10

Wow man... looks amazing. More pics please!

JODE63

Car looks amazing! Did you go with 265 / 30 21's up front and 305 / 25 21's in the rear? What width wheel and offset? Any more pics!???
