Anyone in SoCal want to help install a rear lowering link?
I can't get the damn thing in there and I'm looking for a little help if there is anyone available. I have an 03 E500 that desperately needs the rear lowered.
Thank you to anyone that replies!

Don't need to install the rear link, do this instead:
remove the lower nut of the oem rear link and dremel or drill a notch in that bolt hole a little longer so when you bolt back on the link it can slide towards the front direction of the car, this will manipulate the sensor position and lower the rear. Much easier than replaceing the link itself, I did a search on this forum and found the directions and worked great.
Here is the rear with stock rear link:
