I'll measure it for you, I just did it by lowering links, took them off and put them back on a few times to get what I liked.

How is it for removing the front links? Yesterday I lifted the car and didnt have a wrench to rip it off tried by hand, but was afraid to snap the plastic. any tips how to remove the links easily? P.S I have the lowering links as well

Force them off and twist while doing it, they will come off and will not snap.

I had a 2006 Z06 for 2 years. The performance was great but it squeeked and groaned with 16k. I'm impressed with the fit and finish of my SL55. Not to mention my German buddy constantly called the Z06 "Plasteek"

In my opinion, the SL55 is far more refined than the Z06. Don't get me wrong, the Z06 was a blast to drive hard but the seats and cheap interior.......... not to mention a fixed roof.

SL55 AMG
I've driven faster cars than the SL55 for sure; but the SL is a pure joy to drive, well engineered, refined and subtle, best way to put it is a thug in a fine sophisticated business suit so to speak...Like an old time mobster, it looks the part of a polished and refined persona on minute, but the next minute it'll take ya out back and beat you with a baseball bat
