Exclamation ML63 AMG - Lowering links, alignment

I picked up this ML63 AMG earlier this year, just did lowering links and an alignment. The adjustments were limited so we couldn't get it perfect, ride is noticeably stiffer on all settings. Do any of you with lowering links notice early tire wear or are you using adjustable camber arms?

Older thread, but wondering how you liked the lowering links on your ML63 @bensitto …? Thinking of doing this myself. Thanks!

I purchased my links through ghost links for my ML63 and they did not fit, I do still have them, just got to get some pictures to sell them private. I can't recall exactly what it was but I would have had to reuse the OEM bushings so we decided not to use them. I ended up getting an air ride module from a company on Instagram called LoweredBenz

plugs into the OBD port and you can adjust your settings then unplug it once ride height has been adjusted.
I can adjust the ride height from the command radio and lower it like a max of -50mm or raise it 40+mm

zero complaints with it
I run -42mm front & -45mm in the rear I believe the last time I messed with it
not really recommended but she's low lol

No issues, loved the results and it was easy to tweak each corner by unlatching one end of the link and turning it.

God I'd love to pick up one of these vehicles to pair with my E63, the extra room must be great on trips.
