Just lowered car via adjustable air ride links

hey guys i just lowered my car using the ajdustable air ride links but i still think it sits mad low to the floor and it rubs a little in the back. i even think the reason being is because the sensor prolly came out and the guy i went to to install them might have cambered the wheels a lil bit. BUT here are some pictures.

all feedback is needed. thanks guys.

About your trunk lid, did you just add the long chrome strip but not the wider lower trunk portion right?

Ride height looks good in the front, but a tad low in the rear. Wheels look great!

2007 S550 (S65 Package)
thanks guys and yes i know its mad low in the back but i have to wait to wednesday to change it. i want it to be about an 1inch higher than that. im taking it to a buddy who can put it on a lift for me and change it. and as for the trunk lid, i just bought it off of ebay for 40 instead of buying the entire trunk for 400. it was really easy to install just double stick tape and thats it. and it looks jsut the same as a 2007. the ride itself is a lil rougher than i thought it would be but i believe thats b/c of the way it sits. a question though, how much does the car raise when you push the raise button in the car, b/c thats where i want my cars height to sit at. and keep the compliments coming guys .

Looks good. I agree it is a little low in the back. Post some updated pictures when you get it raised!

definitely, im going back on wednesday, it seemed like forever since i did it last friday. i have been really careful trying not to rub and have been driving with the vehicle raised but with me driving i do an average of 80mph and thats when the air suspension cuts back down. its all good though and i will post the pix 2moro.

That is slammed!!! I'd say lengthen that rear link about 4-5 turns. I know it's tight up there but can be done just by poping off the sway bar side and twisting it up there. Should take 10 min. The fronts are a breeze.

thanks for the comments guys and it took about 5 days to get them i believe but i wasnt really waiting for them. i did higher the car in the back and its perfect now except that it rubs a lil in the front but only when i go up a driveway or something of that sort. i might raise the front just a little bit later if it really bothers me. i do however reccommend them to everyone who wants to lower their car, they feel great when driving and also work great.

Got mine installed today! I got charged $80 for the install, which wasn't too bad considering installing the rear link is pain in the ***! I'm way slammed right now, on my stock 18's! I need to raise it up, it's pretty bouncy, probably don't have much air in the bladders. It looks hard though! Can't wait till I get some wheels for this bad boy!
