Ghostlinks vs. airmatic-lowering-links.co.uk

Anyone have an opinion on this? The Ghostlinks product is nicer looking (though that wont matter once installed), but the Evolution links from Airmatic appear to be adjustable without needing to raise the car and remove/reinstall.

Airmatic is about $60 cheaper as well. I'm happy to pay more for a better product, but in this case, if it's just a better looking product, I don't see the point.

I used the airmatic without issue. Easy to adjust the front while on the ground but you still need to raise the car to get to the rear.

Got it. Any other opinions out there? I'm leaning toward the Airmatic links. Also, if I understand the photos correctly, with Ghostlinks you're buying a series of fixed links, and you would use only the two front/rear that offer the desired drop, and the rest would live in a box in my garage? That would explain the price difference a bit.
