I'm sorry but i don't understand the point? Why not adjust the ride height with INPA like we always to?

Daft isn't it - some people cannot be reasoned with and choose to waste extra money doing a half a$£"d job.

I just installed these links in the rear along with H&R lowering springs in the front. I don't have access to INPA, or I probably would have tried that.

While doing the installation, I found that the left side link had to be lengthened to be about 12 mm longer than the right link. In the end, my right link was about 61 mm in length, measuring from the center of the ball joints. The left link was about 73 mm in length. Has anybody else had this experience?

With these link lengths, the car ended up having an even ride height, side to side. I took the car for a quick drive around the block and remeasured, and everything had remained same. I'm interested to go for a longer drive and see if anything changes.

My experience was that 1 rotation of a single ball joint is about 2 mm. This changes the ride height by 4 mm on my car.

These links seem like a pretty good buy . Have you found a group buy yet ?

I heard from someone that tried the INPA method got error faults, can someone that has done this confirm that no errors will be thrown, thanks

I downloaded the software and awaiting the Bluetooth/ OBD connector, just do not want my first project to end in regret.

I lowered mine with INPA without errors. Originally, I had the lowering links that were included with my KW V3's, but I was paranoid about them becoming loose. When one of my rear level sensors died, I returned to the stock links when I changed the sensor and programmed with INPA. That has been months, and I've had no issues.
