Show me your airmatics on lowering links

[gunning]

As stated, be good to see before and afters of w219's, 211's etc etc that run airmatic and the lowering links.

I bought the renntec module for my cls55 years ago but due to being in Cornwall I couldn't be bothered to get somebody to fit it.

I'm not sure I want to lower the cls though as it's not that kind of car... or is it?

Show me more please guys!

Here's my 211 on adjustable links.

you could always go down the route of having it lowered via star.....and yes it is that type of car

(Unlike a ML which is not that type of car, but it didn't stop me doing it anyway, used a lowering module though on that)

Lenny63 on here has lowered his 55 using links and Killerhertz went the star route.

What would you say is the best way to go, star or links?

Star, For one you don't have to mess about trying to adjust the rod on the Rear antiroll bar, Absolute pitta.

As Gav says above, but it all depends on how much of a 'drop' you want. I think stars parameters allow a max of 25mm where as the links allow more. Module is the most expensive route but allows the most flexibility.

Thanks for the info... I'll probably go star route then. Is it something all indies can do?

Also more photos please as i wanted a rough idea of how it would sit with a 25mm drop. I don't want it to look silly and chavvy. Just a nice drop.

IMO the best drop is one where each arch front and rear is at the top of the tyres...or a small amount above. I don't think hiding the tyres in the arch is a good look...IMO.

I think the car in post#2 is a little too low. But each to their own and that is certainly not a criticism.

Haven't Measured it, as i've never seen in the flesh a Non lowered e55 to remember.

Brutus is sitting with the arch just at the top of the front tyre, and the rear arch very slightly higher. "on links btw" which i adjusted up as it was far to low when i 1st got it.

Thanks guys, I've decided to get it lowered via star as I can't be bothered with fitting the links. I only want a small drop anyway... 25mm would be fine.

Good decision. Without going down the links route earlier I'd choose Star too.

 

[Alps]

STAR would be fine for that amount

Ideal thanks, are the 55's lower as standard anyway compared to the 500?

What drop was that 25mm?

It really does look evil on black!

I have one lowering Renntech lowering module in stock that I can do you a cracking price on.

The airmatic will be completely adjustable then.

Thanks Olly, I've decided to get it lowered by star.

I remember the renntech module I was going to fit on the 55 and I just couldn't be assed with it all. It's a great system but as I don't need the car that low low I will settle for the small drop.

The bosses ML lowered using the max setting, not that its ever that low, completely impractical!

Have you managed to get it done??

 

[gunning]

Your ML looks lovely abb! You have done a lot of work to that!

I have had it done... I'll upload a better photo when I'm out and about in it later. I wouldn't want to go any lower on the rear. Maybe the front a smidge
