Wow this is great news, I was on the Local Merc dealer here in Puerto Rico looking at the E63 AMG and took it for a test drive and it is a great car, and they told me that they have a great relashionship with RennTech. Can't wait to see outcomes for this car. Great Luck you guys.

Kinda disappointed! I thought the MCT would have less drivetrain losses and thus yield a higher whp figure on your dyno. Make sure to wake up that beast up with a nice set of headers and other bolt-ons.
Thanks for getting back to me in such a quick manner.

I agree with you..... Even thou I had a nice time test driving one in my local dealer.

Oh man, and in black too? That new E makes me look twice every time! Only thing stopping me from making the jump is knowing my E55 is quicker.

Well, until I see final numbers it is anyway!! *drool*

Awesome work, this will be insane. I love the new E63. I would chose it over an M5 and XFR in a heartbeat

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
