Height adjustment w/out a suspension module
What are the pros and cons of using a modification on the ABC suspension height sensor to lower the suspension on an SL ?
I have seen several items that say it is very effictive. I have seen someone who said he used some shims to reposition the origional sensor. I cant find that again.
And some manufacturer that makes a modified arm to replace the stock one.
Any one with experience with these??
Does it compensate for the lower height adjustment at higher speeds?

Do not use shims, links, or any of the other ridiculously stupid methods of lowering. They are the most prone method of lowering that can lead to suspension failure. Either find a shop that can lower it through the STAR Diagnostic system, or buy yourself a lowering module.
Using a proper method will compensate for the lower height adjustment at higher speeds. Using one of the ghetto links methods does not.
