Anybody have any experience with these. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1895629.htm

I like the lower stance on the SL but wouldn't want to place any undue stress on the rather expensive
shocks !!

I've used them on my sl55 and after 9 months I've had no problems, they are obviously considerably cheaper than the electric lowering modules which will set you back about a grand, the air suspension settings still work absolutely fine and have not had any error messages

just remember not to lower the car too much, 5mm is fine and also you can always adjust them afterwards if you wanted to, I think the way they work is just to trick the car into thinking its sitting 'higher' then it actually is.

Cheers for that. Think I might give them a try as I hate the gap between the tyres and the arches.
