Here they are
Front wheel lowering link
Rear wheel lowering link
Rear lowering link
Factory front link
Front wheel lowering link
Lowering links installed with ABC fully raised
Lowering links installed with ABC fully lowered, 2.5' drop from factory is where I set mine. I can go all the way to the ground with the few turns of a couple 10mm wrench's.
It will rub oh so slightly if the ABC is fully lowered and your over the speed that the car lowers itself. I just lift up the car with the ABC and never had any problems yet. My car is just a cruiser so I never go fast anyway so this suits my needs perfect.

At first I had links, but I wanted to go lower with the ability to adjust the height whenever I wanted. Now I have a RENNtech module w/ controller on top of my links. The module also controls the auto-lowering at high speeds. I would recommend a module for a decent drop with high adjustability.

Thats next on the list but I had to get the static hieght where I wanted it first because the module doesnt go low enough on its own.
I didnt know that the Renntech also controled the auto lowering as well. Thats pimp.
Cant wait to lay this ***** down over the new wheels with the Renntech.

allot of people say the rear are adjustable from factory, but when I look at my 05 S55 and 03 CL both look pretty much like the front rods?
nothing to adjust, front washers are easy how about the rear's any pics or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks...

finally got the wheels from symbolic cv15 20x10 with 285/30 and rubbs after lowering it 1 inch. sent it back to make it 20x9.5 with same tires and hopefully solve the problem.. any offset and tire recommendations ? flat look from fender, not to stick out or sucked in from fender
