CL63 Lowered by GhostLinks---Whats correct ride hight??!

Hi all

Had my CL for about month now and first mod to do was to lower it by links...I have fitted them but I feel the car is still not sitting 'right'

Too low makes the car look funny and standard height no good either, cant seem to find the right set up.

On my E55 I had a one finger gap with 19's, but on this Im keeping the standard wheels..

Have included pics..

Standard set up - OEM links..







After Ghost links fitted:










any help is much appreciated!

I dunno, it's probably a matter of taste.
For me personally, I prefer your ghostlinks height.
I've been considering such a setup on mine. With links like that does "raise" still work? Or is it held at one height all the time?

Sometimes if you over-think it, you will be constantly adjusting it.
I think the CL looks just right in your Ghost Links photos.
Perfect amount of drop.
