Lowering CLS550

I searched and there seems to be much more info on lowering modules. that being said,i am a new c218 cls550 owner coming from a w211 amg. I know that my e63 had air ride all around in which a buddy of mine here in houston hooked up to STAR-DAS computer and lowered it for me. I come to hear that the CLS is spring suspension in front and airmatic in the back. if thats the case, how would you recommend would be the best way to lower the car? Thanks in advance for your time and help!

From what I understand the CLS63 is spring up front and airmatic in the back so you should be able to get links and lower the CLS550 since its all airmatic but I'll confirm when I get them installed soon for my new wheels.

I have a 13 CLS 550 4-matic using the Renntech Lowering Module with Ghost Front Lowering Links. Looks amazing when it's dropped.

This is my car with the links installed in the "sport" setting and my new wheels. I think i'm going to re adjust the links to get it a little lower in the rear now that the wheels are on the car.

Also, what links are those if you don't mind me asking? And you have links all around correct? Ever thought of lowering via Star-DAS system?

I got the links at Autotalent. I believe he sourced them from http://www.adjustableairride.com/

And yes there are links on all 4 corners. I've thought of using Star but can't find anyone nearby to do it so far.
