More information.....

1) are you just looking for an Indy that can do the job and you pay the labor?
2) will you be suppling springs, shocks/struts, shims/buffers, and custom camber arms?
3) do you know how low you want to go?

... bottom line, do you know what you want or do you want someone who is doing this regularly to tell you what you can do?

I have the airmatic suspension on my e500 so i'm looking to just have it mildly lowered for now using the sds. I actually have a patient that works at the bodyshop of the local dealer that is going to hook me up after hours. Just to help me out, can anyone tell me how low is recommended using sds and what typical drop heights people are doing with the sds? I have no idea myself and have seen people claiming anywhere from .5 to 1.5 in and doing different drops front and back. I just want to close the wheel gap as much as possible. Eventually will go to a lowering module but since i just got the car my extra play cash is depleted(ie. wife approval, lol)...
