Im likely to go with the links, but probably the ones that come from UK as they’re adjustable without removing anything. From your pics it appears you have to remove at least one end to adjust. Do you have any concerns about how much of the threaded portion is in each end, or are they marked somehow to assure each end is sufficiently attached. Can I ask what yours cost, as you said they were pricey?

Rob O & cmaoore 86 - Did you make any camber adjustments after installing the links? Also, did you get an alignment after? I know its a good idea but I've hear mix reviews.

As far as I know there is nothing out yet for front camber adjustments and the OEM air suspension only allows adjustment in the rear. I definitely did get an alignment after lowering for sure. The toe needed the most adjustment according to my shop.

If you got the air mattic links like I did, they shipped super fast for me. I think it was only a couple of days for transit to me in California. Install is super easy and can be done in the driveway assuming you have some calipers or other measuring tool. Just take your time popping off the OEM links and follow the directions on which to make shorter and which to make longer and you shouldn't have any issues.

I am assuming this is the site? I only see kits for Q7. Is our kit the same?

Thanks. I am SO on the cusp of doing this. The issue for me is that vehicle mods are like crack cocaine for me lol. One of the reasons that I bought this car was I was thinking I would leave it alone, and I worry that I wont stop at just one mod. Having said that, this is screaming out to be done, IMO.

I ordered a set of links from Airmatic. I looked under the car though and don’t see where they’d go. Vendor says I won’t even have to remove the wheels. Just put car in ‘wheel change’ mode.
Can someone confirm these will definite fit a 2018 new SQ5. How big are they? I thought they were just several inches long, and the parts they replaced were black plastic looking things. Where should I be looking? It also looks like some of the many arms are attached with specialized bolts (look like large male torx bolts).
