And VERY easy to install. I consider myself a very avid DIY'er and had the links on in about 30min. Then took about another 30min to adjust them and get the high perfect on each corner.
A couple of tip's
1-for the rears, remove the wheels.
2-take your measurements before you start anything!
If you have any questions, let me know I'll gladly help you out in any way I can.

$600. Man, the markup on those things looks like pure 100% gold. Seems like they should cost half what they do for what they physically are. And that price would STILL probably be a 100-150% markup over cost. Just guessing.

I guess I misread the cost in the dropdown on the website then...
AH... I know what it is.. I checked them out one other time and was brought to their PayPal shopping cart. It remembered my settings when I returned, and upped the qty to 2. I guess that would explain why they seemed twice as expensive as they should be.
$300? that's a fair price.
Yep, it's Friday alright.

don't even hesitate! I just installed them on my SL. I'll post some pics tomorrow. It looks amazing!!

Oh no, I don't drive it on the winter, I just took the car out of the garage to take pics for the OP of this thread.
Note, I recently lowered the car a bit more just to see what it would look like, and I got the "ABC visit workshop" after taking it for a test drive. So I've raised each corner by 2 turns and now I'm just waiting for the weather to get better for a test drive. I'll keep you guys posted.

Unfortunately right now, I don't have close up pics of the links. However I'll be glad to take some close-up pics the next time I take the car out. Right now the weather is pretty aweful here in Montreal, Canada.
