Leveling S55 with lowering links..
My car had two wheels that were out of whack with the others so I decided to use lowering links to adjust.
I have STAR/DAS but I think the link method would be faster.
Starting with the RF I went right in and installed the shorter link to raise the car 3/4 inch. It worked but made the LR wacky and raising/lowering was goofy too. I think too much all at once.
I put the RF back to stock length and all was better and no longer goofy.
I started shortening the RF link two turns at a time and measuring. After three cycles of that all was even and no issues.
I raised the LR about the same in three steps and it was perfect.
The LF raised a 1/2 inch so I installed a link and in three steps got it perfect as well.
The car sits perfect now and raises/lowers equally on all four wheels.
