Suspension upgrade for CL65

I have a client who would like to do some suspension upgrades to his CL65. It's funny b/c as most of you owner's would know it's difficult to get all the power to the ground. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know Renntech makes a lowering module, but do they have toe links as well?

The problem is the ABC suspension. The hydraulic suspension is so difficult to mess with. If you have the $'s and patience you could try to gut the ABC and put a coil over suspension in there (like they did for the SL65 Black Series). There really isn't any in between option.

The manual says that the car lowers itself by up to 30mm when traveling over 60mph. How would that affect a car with a lowering module?
I'm sure your the man who would know.

Sounds like a bad move.
