    Dropping my e39 touring

    How do I drop the back of my touring with sls system? I know the front is just like a sedan e39.
    Thanks

    Get the Eibach kit to replace the SLS.

    I went with the links options, and also made adjustments with the software. When you shorten the links or bend you current links it will fool the system to lower the car.

    Do you guys remember how much shorter the links were to drop the rear end, say a half an inch?

    Mind me asking where you sourced them from?

    With this modified link my car had to be dropped with software about two inches. I'm running 18" wheels

    These links came with BavAuto lowered front springs I had purchased for my 540 Touring. But I was having lots of problems with ride height, as you can see on my rear tire. So I decided to adjust the length of both links.
