2007 CLK 63 Lowing

How easy is it to adjust ride height in this car?

Are there screws/ bolts I can turn?

Kenny, to my knowledge, there is not one car made in the world that has screws/bolts you can turn to adjust the ride height from the factory.

Some High End Mercedes cars have an electronic version. Height adjustable suspensions by screws/bolts, etc. are aftermarket and usually called coilovers. If you want to lower your car you will have to add non-adjustable aftermarket springs or a coilover type system.

C5 & C6 Corvettes (1997 to 2007) adjust their ride heights with bolts that a DIY'er can do. I haven't look under my CLK yet and was hoping it might have the same.

I have a C6 and have lower it with this method.

From searches I gather springs are the only option, yes?

I have them on my car... but mine is an 04 E55 Not sure if your car has the air ride system?

The tech installed adjustable links to fool the computer to make it think it's sitting higher then it is and it will lower it. You can tailor the front as low as you need it to go.

On the rear he grinded a slot in the axle to move the sensordown to sit lower.
