How did you lowered 1.75" in E500 airmatic suspension? Btw, your 19" Barbus looks great. Hope to see you around in the Bay area!
Thanks!

For the front, I ordered another set of links from the MB dealer ($28.00 each). The bolt that goes through the upper control arm is pressed into the "L" bracket. I ground out the bolt (hardened/it was a b..tch) and then used a longer bolt to attach to the upper control arm. It is the same theroey as E Power's "Washer" method but it is a little longer so I can ger more lowering out of it.
I will try to post some pics to explain.
