I think low is 40/40 based on a previous post. The seller says it 32/32 on a video though. I do think the car looks better with rear lower than front to equal it out.

Im at 31/36 and really like the look. The low setting just looked to slammed for me.

2018 E63s Wagon
I wanted to add my two cents here. I have the same module for my 18 E63s Wagon, it is an awesome and relatively inexpensive mod ( I bought the one on Ebay). After messing around with the custom settings and using the round toggle, it is really fun and easy to change the look ( and Ride) of your E63. I started with the low setting, but it was too low for comfortable driving. Looks wicked cool though. I went to -22 both front and rear, and the look was also pretty stellar, but the ride was really rough, almost like sport +. I felt every nook and cranny on the road. My wife also commented that she felt everything. So I took it back up to -15mm both front and back. This is for me the best combination so far. The look of the car is better than stock, and the ride is the same as the stock OEM height. That small difference, 7mm, seemed to make a world of difference. The car is compliant and predictable.
Now if I was parked at a car show, I would lower it down for the look. The cool thing with these modules is you can change the look and drivability by yourself in all of 30 seconds. No need to go to a guy....no need to head to the shop....just plug it in, click thru to the custom menu, set and save. I will continue to experiment with smaller increments here and there. Kudos to the guy that figured this out. For $400 this is a must have.

Absolutely agreed. I use -20mm in front and rear on my s560.

Yesterday I went to order one and saw it had gone up. Decided maybe 17mm wasn't such a big deal.

As usual, this is one of those things are very personal, and up to the eye of the beholder, how much a car should be lowered to look cool. I prefer that the tire is symmetric with the wheel arc, meaning that there is the same air gap between tire and wheel arc all way round.

Help w lowering module-afwmgjj.jpg





Help w lowering module-0e8vs4k.jpg


Really happy with the module from eBay as others on here.

I first had it in 'Low' mode which I believe is -32mm all around. The ride was pretty harsh. I also noticed the rear was sat slightly lower than the front which was bugging me!

Its now sat in Custom mode in these pics, -32mm front, -28mm rear. It rides a lot better just from that +4mm on the rear from low mode. The rear tyres are profile 35 though, they should be 30 (my mistake when I ordered them!) so I think that's why the rear looks lower when in actual fact the tyre is thicker than what it should be.

Alignment booked for this week, Spacers pending (H&R 15mm front and 13mm for rear). Overall, love it.

How does it lowering module work. Can you set the ride height on each mode or is it one height for all of them?

yes, its one for all, but it doesnt over ride settings, so if you set -30 all around on comfort mode, then push S+ suspension, car will go even lower.

your rims look great. is it because your car is new? i would consider ceramic coating them to keep them so clean.

Hey Irfan,
Does your HR kit include extended hub bolts? if yes, can you share part number for spacer kit please.
