cls 500
Ordered the links and gave ghost links a call , and he explained that his cls links only include 2 front links in his cls kit..and specific instructions on how to lower the rear via ghost link method..lol wich does not include replacing rear link as there is one for the rear sensor, and the rear stock link has a slight bend to it. As he explained to me the rear sensor can be loosened via 2 screws and rotated towards the front of the car to lower or shims can be added wich are included in the ghost link package with specific instructions..

The ghost links lower the car about an inch across the board max, right?
Can you do it under the car or do I have to remove the wheel for access?

They come preset for a 1'' drop but can be adjusted for a more aggressive drop. the front wheels donot need to be removed as for the rear it is a little tight and might need a lift .

Thanks Tim.... Car Sounds really good. I posted an image with some needed clarification on the resonator delete... can you clear that up for me?

Also, did it totally take away from the silent cabin when you are just cruising on the freeway at 70? or is it still quiet? Im sure its load when you gas it

Hey,

This is actually my first post, and its a pleasure to join such a fantastic forum

I am considering 20" wheels on my 2006 CLS500, however I asked about such softwares to lower the car but no one seems to know what i'm talking about here (i currently live in Kuwait).

Wouldn't just springs like H&R do it? If not, how much do the mentioned "lowering modules" cost?

Thanks.
