Lowering an 03 E500 W211 w/airmatic suspension

I know my car doesn't have springs so what would be my best option? I don't mind paying for a lowering system, however I have heard you can lower the car by using washers and tricking it to thinking it's higher so it will stay low at all times. Any good suggestions? I'm putting 20's on my ride and would like it where there's no gap.

Eric Sandoval ordered and installed the links for his car and it looked pretty easy and is alot cheaper than a module and safer than washers......Ordered mine and should be here in day now... The site I believe is www.adjustableairride.com

Any updates on the kit?

How would you like it and how hard it is to install?


Thanks

911's and beyond
search it in the w211 section and just type in lowering in the search this forum section and just wait for All the help in the entire World. Good luck i used washers I cut the original bolt and added 6 washers to each side and Loctite dont forget Loctite. Good luck and Dont spend 300-1100.00 when you can spend 5.00 @ home depot support you local hardware store.
