Anyone with spacers - are you installing longer bolts as well?

Exactly. Still I see many post where people doing this for some odd reason. If you just spend that money go with a reliable know tuner like RennTech or Brabus. Said that I am not sure why Brabus charges 3 times the price of RENNtech ECU+ for a ECU upgrade like the BRABUS PowerXtra B40-700

Looks aside, does anyone have any skidpad or lap time data that shows a performance / handling improvement with the car being lowered?

I think it's mostly for looks. If I were to track it, I would restore to factory and let stock settings dictate.

Hi guys; new to the forum and this thread. Have a 2019 E63s Wagon....

I don't think this question has been answered directly so hoping you guys with the lowering module can help answeroes this module allow me to customize the ride height for each of the drivers settings including: Individual, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Race? Or is it just lower the car (eg 20mm), and it adjusts all factory driver modes 20mm lower than stock?

Is it possible to lower the car to the lowest setting (slammed) just when the vehicle is in Park or Off? And keep the other factory ride heights?

Is it fair to assume that you can hit the "raise car" button and the car will lift to maximum height regardless of whether the module is installed or not?

Thanks for your replies.

My understanding and experience is it changes the baseline.

Um...

That's OK for parking, but it will never "work" there...not properly anyway. Mercedes cars don't like being too low, and that's too low...

Warranty is valid with Brabus thats why the salty price! i have rentech module which is great but after seeing the amazon one would have would have got one of those instead does the same job but more than half the price

Perhaps a warrnty is valid with Brabus in the UK...

but no different than the others in the US. Also, the price has very little to do with that, it's simply that homologating that technology over so few parts makes it expensive......

The module replaces the factory height with the one you select using the module yourself.
If you lower the car via module sport and plus just stiffens the ride as would without module doesn't lower any further as said

Hmm I checked my 2019 e63s VIN with the Amazon seller and they said it wouldn't work. Also tried the eBay seller but they don't seem to want my payment unless I e-transfer to his account which feels a bit off.

*The issue with seller was resolved. Had some miscommunication with seller regarding payment.*
