Lowering sl55

Hi guys, not long had my first merc witch is a sl55 and I already want to lower it, I've tried looking as I geuss some one will of asked this question already but how comes you couldent just swap the front and rear links over ? And if it's that Low use the setting that raises it for driving around and then dumping it when I park. Just thought il ask before I fabricate something

Cheers

I would not fit links, use a module, mine has links and it has ruined the ride
and feels unsafe at high speeds.

Cool and I found a set on eBay thanks bud, and had any one tried just swapping the standard links over ? And while we're on this topic I checked the dipstick on the fluid res earlyer and now it dose some dance when I put in in reverse and steer :/
