lowering module for GL450?

is there one on the market yet? or can you use the carlsson or brabus mod. for the ML or Rclass? the reason why im asking is I took the plunge and got some shoes for the GL. i looked at some 22s and couldnt justify getting them when i had factory 20s. so i ordered 24s. we dont drive the car that much so i went for it. i have to wait to put them on i tried a 305/35/24 but the tires rubbed. the proper size tire is 285/35/24 (stock height),it looks ok. the car needs to be a "smigget" lower. thats why i would like to find a lowering Mod.
if i cant get one im going to try a 295/35/24 and see if it will clear. any help would be great.

Since you're in the Bay area, suggest you contact Steve with MBenzNL (see http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/sho....php?t=158069). He does first-rate work using the factory StarDiagnose software to lower any Airmatic-equipped M-B vehicle . . . no need for any aftermarket module. I've done business with him a number of times. Stand-up guy.
