Maybe this is a stupid question, but I am assuming that before you did the mods, you jacked up the car off the ground, right??
Also, how far did you drill the holes apart??
Also, how much did it drop it by??
I dont know who the question is directed to but I took before and after measurements. I checked the allignment specs and I am still within the original +/- and all id well. The gap is even on all fenders and drops a tad when you park it on the front. It really depends on what washers you use upfront and as far as the holes at the back, drill it to the side towards the rear diff I did about the same thickness as the washers I used. You can also eye ball it and get the same results.
Start with the front first to get familiar with the task. You just need to jack up one side at a time on the front and the drivers rear tire and go under and look at the rear axle pivot, the servo is there. A small 10 mm socket is best to use.
Drop on mine was an inch all the way around. I will redo it when the new wheel set arrives to suit my taste. This mod is fairly simple and can be returned back to OEM in 30 minutes. Thanks to ekovalsy, I dont have to buy the boys at the dealer pizza.lol.

What height do you now have between ground and top of the fender well ? I'm abpit 25-7/8" front and 26" rear. Not super low, but low enough for me. Car is getting lots of compliments too.

I went and measured from center of rim to bottom of fender and mine was 14.5" front and 14.5" rear.
I took the washers off and put it back to stock coz I am going to the dealer and see my friend and do warranty work. Nice drop now but I am going to the dealer tomorrow (Monday) and will get the them to drop it down software wise 1.5". Then when the rims get here by end of the month I see if it needs to go lower with your set up.
Thank you for the free advice, I am going to do my W211 E55 the same way when I get it back from the dealer on Monday.
It sucks that we can only go 135 mph on the CLS. I hope we find a way to eliminate that in a cheaper way.
I had the RennTech module installed and it works GREAT!!! It's adjustble so you can lower the front a tad less than the back and gives the car a nice rake. Left front and right front are independantly adjustable as well as the rear. There are four dials in the module (FL, FR, Rear, bypass). There are 7 modes which adjust by 1/8" each.
