lowering your R

So by ordering the H&R springs it will lower all for corners when you replace the front springs. I was told that the back will lower on its own..

I suspect only if you have the self-levelling air suspension option.

Check your invoice. I did it and H&R is correct. The cars following the first year have self levelling standard.

I threw ten 60 lb bags of play sand in the back of the R for a home project and it rode flat as hell...it has to have the air leveling standard. The front has coil springs but you can't see the rear suspension...all that is visible is the shock poking out of the inner fender cover.

Yes, all 06 R in North America come with rear self leveling air suspension. I've lower my R500 with H&R. My tech told me he lower the rear with Star.

so I checked my invoice and it does have self leveling.
After installation, anyone had the rear lowered on its own without help from star?
