using lowering links

 

Looks great, it is really that easy to lower using the links? Watched a video online and it looked insanely easy to do. My guess, use the electronic 'high' mode as normal ride height and electronic normal as 'dropped'. Really does make the car look more cohesive with the 1.5" drop plus the lower center of gravity is beneficial for spirited driving. Did you have the alignment checked?

 

Hey Steve, yes, it was very easy install using the links, you can just pop out the old ones and put on the adjustable links. i didnt have the alignment checked yet since i will be driving on the high position which it is same as normal height.
the car feels more stiff but very little, but cant feel the difference when I put it in high mode.

 

Sorry to bother you again, though when you adjust the link length is it 1:1 ratio (1 inch of link reduction for 1 inch of ride height adjust or ???). i plan to use a precision electronic caliper from my Formula racing days to make the adjustment precise to avoid needing to corner balance the car.

 

it's not 1:1 ratio, every 5mm is 1/2-3/4 inches. Good luck!

 

Ahh ok, once i know the ratio it is easy to calculate. Many thanks!

 

your welcome!

$$$ vs $$$$

 

Links seem not only far less espensive, they are easy to install and remove or custom adjust the height as you like.

 

Who did the work and where do you buy the links from?

 

Not sure where he got his, i looked a few and found these.

The quality looks good and price seems right. You can easily do it yourself or any decent shop. Just remember to put the car in JACK mode when they put the car on a lift (press the shock adjustment and ride height buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds until you see JACK mode pop up on th driver front screen).
