R230 Not Raising after drop link install...
I have a 2004 SL55 - installed drop links and now the car isn't raising. When I initially started the car and cycled through the raise/lower button, it quickly dropped to a VERY low setting. It was raising and lowering before the install. No ABC warning lights or drive carefully lights. Been searching, but haven't been able to find anything helpful yet. I haven't checked fuses yet, but will. Any ideas? Thanks!

Have you extended the links too far? I just did mine yesterday, the links came 1" lowered all around and i left it at that and installed, then i lowered the front another 1/4" and the rear 1/8". Make sure you didn't damage the sensors, those plastic arm are pretty delicate i noticed.

1.25" lowered front, 1.125" lowered rear. I like it like this, don't like the slammed look, just needed to fill out the gap.

I've only got about 3/4" lowered (longer in front - shorter in back), so I don't think that is the issue. I'm going to reheck the sensor connections.
