Great detail. Some “install” videos are basically a before & after lol. I appreciate all the detailed walkthrough
Glad you like them! Thanks for leaving comment!
Great video!!
Nice guide. Ordering links thanks
Thanks, enjoyed watching video 👍
Thanks for leaving comment and checking out the channel! 🙏🏽
Thank you!
This video is super useful
Thank you for commenting and checking out the channel 👍🏽
Well done, thanks a lot.
Glad I could help. Thanks for leaving comment!
brilliant video
Many thanks!
My dude I swear to God you're reading my mind. I just ordered adjustable links before I saw your video.
🤝
Thank you 🙏🏻
Any time!
Good video
Thanks
Really great video! I have a set of facelifted taillights from my 2011 E550, i’d love to see you use them!
You were reading my mind! I was looking at getting the facelifted taillights.
@@DriveTalkCars I sent you a dm on instagram
Great video! Thanks! I have the 2010 e350 wagon with rear air, I would love to do this! Have you had any issues with hitting bump stops? I would love to go as low as possible but feel it might require an aftermarket (thinner) bump stop. Any ideas on this? 😁
Bro, i broke the ball on the SUSPENSION arm, can i order it complet with the ballpoint for the lowering links or is it a separate part?
Thanks! Been meaning to do this on my cls but I haven’t seen any good how-to video.
I’m glad you got some value from it. 👍🏽
Agreed. But my 2016 C218 is also airmatic only in rear, so I’m guessing the links are the same.
Same for the w211 E500
Great video. Do you have any information, positive or negative, about the lowering mods that plug into the car, that is controlled from the display screen inside the car? What are your thoughts??
No, I haven't used them before. Since I only have air suspension in rear on the E63, I decided to just use links.
I have a 2018 e350 d coupe air suspension all-round. Is there links for my car?
Great Video, one question is, that does lowering it using links trigger any faults on the ILS system or any other fault codes on the suspension module?
Thanks! No, I don’t have any faults.
So can you use the links to raise the car?My issue is the opposite .I actually want to raise my ride height.I think my front 2 air struts are shot because they are low and rubbing.
Definitely going to be doing this! What is the lowest it will go just out of interest?
You should do it! I am really pleased with the look of it. To be honest, I am not sure the lowest setting measurement. It is pretty low though.
I did this exact modification to my rear Mercedes w212 but after mine settled I had malfunction on the dash and car sits lower at one side both links are exactly 55mm what have I done wrong
Question
Do you always hear the rear self adjusting? Are there any regular noises when driving around or stopped?
I wouldn't say I always hear it... The only time I really notice it self leveling is when I park it in the garage after driving and after I had someone in back seat or stuff in trunk. Thanks for watching!
How much are lowering links with instalment roughly?
Going on 2 yrs 2015 cls550 with lowering links no probs at all. Been through about 6 sets of 20's 😆
😂 That’s awesome! I am looking into getting some wheels. I was wondering how 20’s would work with the E63 being lowered…
@@DriveTalkCars They look amazing . I just get bored and want to switch the look all the time
That’s cool! Yeah, I know the feeling 😆
Quick question…what size tire did you go with?
@@DriveTalkCars 245/35/20 front 275/30/20 rear i believe wheel offset was et22
What about the air rise if there’s a big bump will it go all the way up when pressed and lower back when deselecting button?
I don't have any buttons to rise the air suspension. I know other models do, but not the E63 W212.
does this kit only works if you have air matic suspension or it will work with any E CLASS? i have a 2020 E350 sedan 4 matic but not an air matic suspension
Lowering links are just for air suspension. If you don't have air than you will have to use lowering springs like this. th-cam.com/video/6dVIbhmjsnk/w-d-xo.html
Great video dude I'm gonna see if I can do it to my 2wd 2008 escalade I have lowering springs on it but the air ride lifts it up to almost stock height when I'm driving so yes it defeats the purpose 😑
Thanks, I appreciate it! Yeah, the lowering links are a must.
Hey bro I have a 2013 cls63, do you think it’s the same procedure of throwing the links in ?
I believe it is the same concept, but location and procedure may be slightly different. Also, you have front and rear links as I only have rear links on the E63. I'm sure it is pretty similar though. Good luck!
How can you tell if the rear sensor is going bad?
Make it longer to lower?
I have an 2010 E550 but I love the sound of an e63 an how the air matic is only in the rear !
An. This is right on ! I wanted to know about lowering links ! Perfect vid
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate that.
Hey! Do you know the ride height on the car now? Like how many cm its is from the centere fo the wheel to the fender start? I want to lower my e wagon and want to know how low it should be to get close to your ride height
Hey, it is 33cm now. I really like the new ride height. Car still rides good too!
Wait so do you have lowering springs in the front??? Can i do this to my e55 in the front and what kit do i get thanks
Yes, I have H&R Lowering Springs (amzn.to/3gt9gdm) in the front. Here is a video th-cam.com/video/6dVIbhmjsnk/w-d-xo.html
I believe they have lowering springs for an e55. amzn.to/3yu3N01 Double check on H&R spring website and/or Google. Good luck!
i know this is a year video now but by any chance is this applicable for E350 saloon non airmatic?? can we get those links for it
The links are for vehicles with air suspension. To lower non-airmatic (air suspension) you will have to replace factory springs with lowering springs.
Hallo nice job can i make same on w211 i have too rear air suspension?
Thanks! You should be able to use lowering links.
It’s better to buy an OBD II Lowering for $450 and change the suspension lowering at any time from the original monitor
i have a e320 mercedes wagon 2004 but it has airmatic suspension on the back idk how i would lower that
A wagon lowered would cool! The beauty of the lowering links is you can adjust it. And it it’s a simple and quick mod. I say go for it!
Does the airmatic still work with these?
Yep, it does. I haven't had any issues.
Does it use one link for each wheel on the rear?
Yes
Thank you..
You're welcome
How about the tire wear?
Nothing drastic in my opinion. Pretty normal wear
Hi great video, has there been any tyre rubbing or scraping when turning corners ,over bumps, since lowering the car, or when the car is fully loaded with passengers? And did the front end alignment change much after lowering? As you would have had to get it checked right?
Thanks! No rubbing or scraping at all. I have had a full back seat and it was fine. Alignment wasn’t to bad after lowering. Yes, alignment on all 4 wheels is required after lowering since the geometry of suspension has changed.
@@DriveTalkCars thanks, did you change the shocks/springs before or after lowering? And was the car airmatic all round? Or just 2 wheels?
I changed front springs And rear height sensor links to lower car.
Front is struts and rear is air springs
@@DriveTalkCars ok cool thanks mine is a 2013 E 400 Airmatic all around so both ends will be links? I think the 1” drop will be enough for me as well as I don’t want any rubbing or scraping? Just wanted to fill up the guard (fender) space above the tyres? (Tires)😂
was the front the same process as the back ?
No, for the w212 e63 it has rear air suspension and springs in the front. So to lower the front I did lower springs. Video - th-cam.com/video/6dVIbhmjsnk/w-d-xo.html
@@DriveTalkCars appreciate it bro
Max that out don’t be scared
Lol…I might be too low now. 👀 I’m scraping the ground at this height. But the look for me out weights the occasional bottoming out.
how about front side ?
Stay tuned! I’m actually posting video on front very soon.
