I used the Kleeman Lowering module. I think there is an easier way to do it via your dealer. Not sure what that entails. Someone shed some light to that?

THe Kleeman lowering module was 2200.00

If your in S. Florida, Ben at Wheels Boutique can lower it for much less.

 

Do you have Ben's direct email?
Getting a tt in the next week or two and want to discuss some wheel options.

Looks sick now, but LM's were god of wheels on that car

Shank,

i too, am interested in lowering my SL55 with the Kleeman Lowering module. .. My dealer (Knauz) thinks that is the only way to go... and because i don't want the computers in the car to have a ****fit, i think dealer installed mods on a MB are the only way to go.. They have "Kleemanized" several SL55's and 65's...
.
even i would save money on the lowering module with Ben, and others with the ecu/pulley, i am afraid..to use anyone other than a MB dealer...who sell Kleeman etc.. ..

.
it isn't like modding a twin turbo.

p.s. cars look great.. do you still have your viper?

 

I have had good luck with RENNTech. Kleeman also high on the list of quality. Don't know where you are located but, can go directly to either site and see who the MB authorized dealer in your area is to install.

 

So the car is SOLD Ryan??????

 

Yes the car is sold and the new owner is Mar...

Congrats to Marcus on the purchase. I'm really glad this car stayed local.

 

CONGRATS MARCUS!!!!!! Thats a awfully sweet ride you inherited.

I'm another fan of the Kleemann lowering units. I use only those now after testing all the other brands.

 

Lee,

why is that? (kleeman)

does an SL55 really find it'slowest ride position at about 75 mph?

thanks,
JR

 

You reprogram the ABC (active body control) control unit to lower the car to the desired stance. It is relatively easy and costs much less then the aftermarket boxes. I've done it many times. Shouldn't cost more then $500 to lower and realign the car.

I'm not a big fan of cutting into a $100k+ cars main body harness to install an aftermarket part when the same effect can be achieved using the factory equipment.

 

93 R1,
i too, am interested in any and all info that you have regarding lowering an SL55..
.
do you have the reprogram "program" . not that it matters that much but where does the cost come in..?
.
i didn't know that the kleeman lowering module entailed cuttting into the harness..
.
thanks,

JR

 

Take your car to the dealer. They hook up the mercedes interface and lower the car. They can program any amount of drop into the suspension computer. The cost comes from their labor time to lower it and do the alignment.

ANY mercedes with adjustable suspension can be done this way.
