I recently picked up a 2005 E55, the previous owner installed lowering links on the car and I'm not a huge fan of the look or ride.
Call me lame but I like the stock look of the car. I'm wanting to restore the stock ride height but I'm not sure about the standard link length.
Does anyone have their stock "lowering links" that they would be willing to sell me or can give me the stock link length so I can try to adjust the links to the correct length?
I'm thinking the parts might be 219-323-00-16 and 211-320-18-89 but I'm not sure as I don't have the stock ones to compare it to.
also interested. I've adjusted mine by just guessing what looks stock, but I'd love the actual measurements. I definitely prefer stock ride height, too
As promised, stock front and rear links. Fronts look to be 4.5 inches, rear 7.5 inches. In the pictures the top does not seem lined up, but I pushed the links and measuring tape up against a box to make sure they were even. Keep in mind that a 5 mm length change in the links results in a 3/4 - 1 inch change in ride height. That's what the instructions that came with my adjustable links say anyway

Thanks a ton! This should help me at the very least get a good starting point for adjusting it back to stock.
