Car looks great, even not lowered I gotta say, but lowering really finished it off.

Love the wheels.

You mind sharing details such as sizes of wheels and tires and offsets so I can achieve the same fit?

Thanks

To all w/ lowering links (specifically Ghost),

Do the links lower the stock height in Comfort Mode and then in Sport Mode, goes the regular 0.5” lower than the new low?

or

Is it stock height in Comfort Mode and then goes, say 1.5” lower when in Sport Mode?

I saw a post that confused me. I thought it was the former, but the post said the latter.

Great question.

I want to lower mine as well.

I dont think the brand of the links will matter.

Link is a link, just changes the set point of the suspension travel. If its anything like the S class, the travel amount and behaviou\r should be exactly the same.
But the base start point, or height level as compared to the factory links, will determine how much lower the car will sit compared to stock.

it’s actually not too bad. that photo makes it look lower because of the shade over the top part of the tires.

heres a comparison photo of stock-comfort (top), links-comfort (middle), and links-sport (bottom), accompanied by a couple photos i took in the past couple of days.

Looks fantastic.

I want to lower the same.

Just not sure if I want to put the 22's on her or leave the stock 20's with the 15 mm H&R spacers I have.

Finally lowered mine with over at Ghost Motorsports with their Ghostlinks, I have been driving with them for a few weeks now and no issue at all. I think the car handles better lowered and there is no rubbing at all.

My car has links on it. If i brought my car to the dealer and left it on raised-suspension mode, and then they updated the software on the car, would it make the raised suspension-mode the default height, or is there no effect on the links at all?

I feel like ever since I picked up my car, the default ride-height is higher than what it was before, and when I put it into sport mode, it still looks higher than sport-mode before I dropped it off.

Thanks for any input.

Doubt it. The car has self-levelling. Nothing has changed.

Here is my B7 with Ghost Links installed. My mechanic put them in. I was nervous about having to do the measurements without a truly flat place to work. He lowered it 3/4". The pic is in Sport Plus mode. I have snows on which are 285 in the rear and 245 in the front. Really happy with the look. No real change in the ride to me.
