So, i started make my own height adjusters.
simple parts, all in 6mm.
Inox threaded shaft
6mm nuts like nylstop and 6mm aluminium ball joints.
As this part is only to transmit movement without excessive effort or torque, it shouldn't break in parts. Anyway if it works for me, you are responsible of what you do and how you do it, use at your own risk.
put all together and adjust the heights of your parts. I suggest you keep at first the original lenght and adjust them later so you can make corrections and check the results. In a video i saw that 5mm more or less on adjusters equals to more or less 28mm. These are for front wheels only, rears work in opposite, you should lengthen them to lower height. Again this is what i saw in a video, can't say if it's right or not.
the original part as found on the car. put the nuts in place before cutting the shaft threaded union
i kept same lenght for a starting point. I'll change the car's height once they are replaced on each wheel. it was easy. if you change the links, pay attention to the side attached to sensor, try to keep it as straight as possible to not damage axis.
result. The instructions i've been found on youtube video were wrong. You have to add lenght on front adjusters and shorten the rears. You have to be patient as the calculator will attempt to keep vehicle as much horizontal as possible so when playing with lenghts at first i've shorten too much on one rear side and when i replaced the second factory adjuster, the rear dropped a lot. So at first remove all the factory links and replace immediately with the one you made.
