Lowering Links or INPA ? 2017 xdrive ...

[Sauceii World]

Looking for a drop with out changing out springs. Mainly would like to close the wheel gap just a bit with out going too far . Car is a DD so not looking to slam it. After reading many threads it seems lowering links or inpa is the best way to go. Ive done links before on my s class and Panamera but if INPA is just as good and only need someone to walk ,e through the procedure much rather go that route . Any extra tips / advice would be appreciated on the lowering process. With the Panamera I had to set the car to jack height and remove the wheels so it didn't loose its mind when recalibrating , anything I need to make sure I specifically do on the 7 ?
thanks in advance

I had mrgicm do it with ista. I am super glad I did it that way. Looks much better and has no problems. Links can have problems.

Having both, I prefer links over ISTA.

Just out of interest, why? I much prefer ISTA, it's super painless.

Me personally, the car wasn’t calibrating. It also had different ride heights. The front was low but the back was still high. Links are just straight forward. You set the height in all 4s, drive around then adjust.

I had the same issues. Wheel gaps were all over the place. I ended up getting links to even them all out.

Do you have a link to a direction to look for the lowering links? I see a couple different options.
thanks

Exactly. After that it was perfect.

Honestly, eBay has them. Just type in our model # and it should pop up. I have GHOST links on mine but its all the same thing.

Thanks appreciate it ! Yea I’ve had issues with eBay links on my Panamera vs spending on a brand name company . Will have to see how the eBay ones are made vs the ghost links . My issues came from the little rubber boot on the end of the link ( might be a different connection for the 7)
