Sorry but to my eyes that just doesn't look right.

2005 CL500.
Yellow speed are adjustable so they are on their lowest setting probably what the op wanted. Personally I wouldn't go lower than the tops of the tyres.

Not to my taste either sorry. That's taking a really classy- as classy as Ron Burgundy- car and boy- racering it.

That's what my CL looks like after it's been sat for a month...

I was exaggerating slightly, but the valves were done last Christmas.

There's a song there somewhere... never catch on though!

if you want to extend journey times, (having to find routes without rough roads or speed bumps), wreck the looks, mess up the ride quality, wear out the tyres needlessly and affect a vehicle's safety...

aren't you supposed to buy a Vauxhall Nova ?

2 all replys the S500 ride height is going back to just over the tyres it was only set low for pic's....but the coilovers now give excellent ride and the damping is adjustable with 30 settings well worth the money

What did it have before? Airmatic or ABC?

So you've gone from a superb, well developed pneumatic controllable suspension to... a normal setup?

Is the ride and handling performance any better than with airmatic?
