what set up do i need to get a good drop on my 2002 cl500

what set up do i need to get a good drop on my 2002 cl500. Right now im running a set of staggered zenneti heirs 35+ offset -10 x 20 (rear) with 275/35/20 & 245/35/20 -8.5x20 (front)...and i just ordered some links but when i looked in the front wheels wells the control arm is pretty close to the tire already...do i need spacers? any help would be appreciated....

If your car is equipped with ABC then the car can only be lowered by the use of an electronic lowering module.

These can be bought on ebay

Sorry I am kinda new to these cars, I thought that was the only option.

By the way the electronic module goes for around 100EUR sometimes on Ebay.de so if it were me I'd go for that option.

EDIT: I tried to find the lowering module and it looks like it is actually what they are also selling in the shop linked above...

In my edit you can see that I wrote that the ones if found on ebay.de most likely were adjustable links and not a electronic lowering module, here are the link to the auktion, also check out the link below to a cheap used electronic lowering module.
