phatisfy,
I take you have ghostlinks on your s550 i white (assuming that is yours)?
How does the suspension ride? I have a wife and 2 small kids and I want to know if they will feel it...it's important that my car is not bouncy like any other dropped vehicle.
Thanks for the input.

If you jack the car up and turn the wheel all the way to the L/R,you'll be able to just pop off the oem link and pop the new ones on. Takes about 20mins to do. It's a really easy job,so don't waste your money and pay anyone to do it for you. btw the links should come with detailed installation instructions.

I just went over the install manual for the links. And it said (rear sensor) "make sure the sensor arm is pointing UP". You might want to double check that. I had mine pointing down,and my car was stuck like your's. Once you have it pointing up,you need to hit the button to reset the air struts.

Did your car respond instantly? I even tried to drive it a short distance to give it a chance to catch up and nothing. I figure maybe the rear sensor is malfunctioning but I also would assume that it would throw some sort of check engine light, if that was the case.
I have not tried installing the stock ones but i did adjust the the aftermarket ones to stock length and it didn't respond.
And thanks for the tip on the bending the tab. At this point I think its rubbing for other issues
