Has Anyone Used Lowering Links and a Lowering Module Together?

I'm looking to go as low as possible. Has anyone used both lowering links and a module to achieve this? Looking to drive dumped sometimes, and when I don't feel like it just raise it back up

By the way, it's a Carlsson C Tronic II

Damn I love how glossy your car looks in that pic.

I have clearance issues with my headers right now so I can't use my C-Tronic.

Haters crazy
I had a kleemann module (earlier versions) and lowering links, my car would be different height all the time something was out of wack. Just the module.. Was fine. Just links were fine too...

^Thanks for the heads up. I'm hoping I can be at a show and just slam it (if it's stationary maybe it won't flip out) and then drive at a height around yours most of the time

As far as the detailing work goes, ask away and I'd be more than happy to help!

No worries! Skip the polish if you don't use a buffer. Clay beforehand, too.

My CLS55 had links and then I added a ELM. That is why if you search my pics. the car in some is so slammed the rear exhaust sat on the ground. The ELM starts lowering from wherever the car is at the time it is installed. The ELM goes 2.0 low. It starts wherever it is normally set. So if your car is on links, it thinks that is the stock setting and goes 2.0 from there. It is nuts! I loved it. That goes for STAR as well. If you car is STAR lowered, that is the factory height as far as the ELM goes. It goes from there.
