These look great. Any negative effects on prolonged use of these to the car's suspension components? Also, have you adjusted the camber settings after lowering

I don't think so, ive lowered all my Mercedes and other cars with air suspension before this, exactly like this. from cars that are lowered or not, the consensus seems to be that no matter what make/model etc, stock or lowered, once you get close to or hit the magic number, say 90-130K miles, bushings and anything rubber will start to fail. sometimes sooner or later, the factory airbags will fail. not all of them at the same time, but at a corner at a time, or the compressor, etc. something will go out. 100% guaranteed. I believe only the rear camber is adjustable and the range isn't much before the washer maxes out in either direction. my alignment wasn't that far out of whack in toe or camber, but did need minor adjusting.

Ok so I finally got fed up looking at the links and installed them. I removed the wheels and that made it much easier. Car looks great now but I think I want to play with the rear links a bit. Seems a tad higher in the back than I wanted. Thanks for all the help!

I didn't even think about it but I should have done a DIY for it.
