lower links IS IT TRUE ???

I was @ some high end shop the other day and this guy told me that because i used lowering links on my SL55 ....that my ABC is shot now ???? like my car wont react like it used too . he said b4 my car would change postitions all the time on turns etc too balance the car . and now that the links are in the car doesnt have ABC anymore . is this true ?

I cant tell if its working or not ... all i know is that my car goes up and down when i push the button ... just not as high . the car is stiffer as the drive feels . he said the lowering mod is the best way too go . .

He was just trying to promote his product over links which are alot cheaper.. trust me, these guys will talk alot of trash for products they don't sell/ esp if they're cheaper.

The links should not affect your ABC...

Will that work for 06 SL65 as well? Who makes the links? Does it give you a stiffer ride then just using the module?
