W220 4Matic Lowering Links
I have a 05 W220 4Matic on 20inch wheels and i was thinking of lowering it an inch or so. However I dont know a good place to buy lowering links from. Also I heard you only need the front links as the back already has adjustable links because of the airmatic system. If this is true where can I find good front links. Thanx for any help you can give

Ok do I have to buy all 4 or can I just use the stock ones from the back and just buy the front links?

Should only be two adjustable links in the kit for the fronts. The rears are handled by a single link over the rear diff that is already adjustable. They move in opposite directions though. Lengthening the fronts lowers the fronts, shortening the rear lowers the rear. Ghost links are preferable as they can be adjusted while on the car. AAR need to be popped off to be adjusted. Remember to drive around a bit after installation to allow the system to recalibrate before making changes. Once the height is set the car needs a fresh alignment.

I found some links at airmatic-loweringlinks.com.uk but they also only sell in a set of 4. Does anybody know where you can get a set of 2? I already have the rears I just need the fronts.
