I thought one of the benefits of having Ghost links and getting RIPPED OFF for them is that they're adjustable? Can't you just adjust them to the maximum ride height and they would theoretically be the same as stock? And even if they cant go back to 100% stock height you should be able to raise the car enough to where at least you're not having such a dramatic impact on your tires and alignment..right?

yes, you should be able to adjust the links to nearly stock. It isnt difficult and you should be able to do it with the wheels on.

Why Ask,

I have ghost links as well... and the Lowering module. Mine pulled slightly left, it was because I did not accurately measure the length of the ghost links left and right. another words, one was about 3/16 of an inch lower that the other side, and i never bothered to measure it.

once i got the same, no more pull

and yes, the lowering module.com remote does the same thing
