Here are the pics...I was on a slight incline so the front is a little higher than it is on even ground but I still may drop it just a tad. Either way, it looks a lot better lowered even how it is now with less gap.
Thanks! After I find the ride height, I will be sure to get an alignment also. Will the dealer to the alignment with lowering links on or should I go to an indy?
Yeah, in my experience they don't care. Are you under warranty? If so and you have a suspension issue swap the OEM links back for that service visit.
Pics look great. I prefer leaving some space like that between the fender lip and tire. Now just do the S63 kit and get it over with. You know it's coming. 😊

Yup, under warranty for a few more years. Right, if I ever do have a suspension problem I will just swap them back.
I may just keep it like this...on level ground the front fender is about 1/2" from the fender.
Question if anyone knows: I have PDC in my 600 but I don't have the PDC sensors in the bumpers like my 550 has..? So, when they day comes that I order the S63 kit, I am going to get the no pdc holes version since it doesnt have them now.

The sensors are behind the bumper covers. So yes....you will need to order the bumpers with no holes.
The same links used on the 600 would also work on the 550 4Matic?
If you measured before and after, what was your final difference front and rear?
Car looks really good!
No, there are 4 links for ABC suspension in the 600.
They were already preset for a 1" drop front and rear...I dropped the front another 1/2"...the rear sits perfect at 1".
Seeing as how these are made, if you are good at machining/welding you can easily make these links. There is nothing special about them. The oem links feel so cheap but I guess they are just there to adjust height and don't need to be made of solid gold or anything. They are as light, actually probably lighter than a pencil.
Ive been planning all of almost the same mods except when I have the wheels off I also want to add the akebono pads, some 20's , slight drop, and freshen up the calipers. Great Job!!
Well it's time to get under this car and take a look and do a little homework. Calipers for sure and drop maybe are next. Both make a big difference for the effort.

I did my akebonos a few weeks ago. Every car I own gets akebonos. No brake dust!!

Yes, you won't believe how easy swapping the lowering links is. You can reach your hand right back there...until you lower the car, then you have to just raise it up with the button to reach in.
only rear wheel drives have ABC suspension ?
bout to order this link but just making sure before i do =)
i got 2013 4matic so i should get one without abc suspension correct?
