Sikk!
Say hi to Dustin for me - he's the man!

Finally back with some updates for you guys.
We have developed our very own sensor links for adjustment of the E63’s rear ride height. First, the engineers took out the Mercedes links and created adjustable prototype links in reference to the OE parts. These prototypes would tell us how much shorter the links would need to be for the ideal ride height. The decision to make two separate production sizes was made so that the customer could choose from different levels of lowering. The links are surprisingly easy to take out and replace. You don’t even have to take the wheels off, just jack up the car and they’re super easy to get to. RENNTECH will offer two separate link sets that lower the vehicle either 1/2" or 3/4". Custom heights/lowering available upon request.
Front suspension was modified to reflect adjustments made to the rear.
Here's an image of the factory Mercedes links

Here's the final dyno testing of the E63. This car is equipped with the RENNTECH Package 2+. The vehicle produced an extra 41HP at the wheels, compared to stock. 436HP/395LB-FT

Very impressive increase in power to an already monstrous motor. Do you guys have any 1/4 mile runs vs. stock for comparison? A good friend of mine did a full upgrade on his W211 E55 (headers, pulley, cams, ECU, airbox. filter) and went from 385 rwhp to 495 rwhp/556 rwtq, but more importantly it now pulls very strongly from just off idle all the way to redline as opposed to running out of breath at the upper rev range stock.
I can't help but think a light pressure blower could turn the 63 motor into a real monster. Have you guys played around with installing a blower on the 63 motor? If so, any results?
