Lowering links install tips?

Ordered a set. Just wondering if anyone had any tips before I get started when they come in?

Get ready for all sorts of tire wear issues...

Anything more than a very conservative drop is going to add a lot of negative camber both front and rear. There isn't much adjustment available with the factory bolts, so you'll find yourself burning through the inside edge of your tires.

I am aware of camber wear. My e38 740il is on coilovers so I am familiar with that.

So is there one or 2 for the rear? The directions that came with the links say there is only one for the rear on my 05 e55

There is only 1 for the rear...i think SL/S/CL have a different air suspension so they might have 2

Thats what I figured. I did the fronts super easy but the single one in the rear is a BIOTCH

Anyone have a tip to get to it?
