Looking good! I'd love to see how those lowering links are installed. How complicated is the process?

Basicly you just take off the oem one(when you take off the wheels its clearly see it) , change the bbm links that i bought from ebay. The hardest part is take of the original one. You need to deep in a hot water so the plastic oem links will a little bit soft(fragile) and just take it out. The front side, i set 5mm longer than stock. The rear side, i set 5mm shorter than stock. I recommend dont set more than 5mm different from oem.

Sounds Awesome!!!:

Is that lighted button something that comes with the exhaust or something you'all did on your own?
Does it also have a remote / clicker?

Feel free to PM this to me but how much in US$ is this IPE exhaust and how much was install?

Thanks.

Great Build by the way.

The light button is touch less btw, it comes from Ipe exhaust. It connect to oem triptonic valve. It does not come with remote control, but you can control it either from the light button or from your cellphone. VDialogue F1 on play store. Price might be a lot of different since i ordered from local dealer in here with freight cargo.

Wait..... so you lengthen the fronts to lower it....
..... and shorten the rears to lower it??

That makes no sense.... but admittedly, I haven't "seen" it in person. I'm quite mechanically inclined, I just also happen to be neurotic about researching things before I do them.

Are there vehicle-specific directions that come with the ABM kit? Is there a reference comparison of how many mm adustment equals vehicle height change?

I do want to go "a little" lower... maybe just 1.25 inches though... not super low.

I know "eventually" I can get it where I want it, I'd just prefer to have a "basic plan" in place, before I end up removing and replacing the wheels 15 times.... know what I mean?

Yes correct, (so you lengthen the fronts to lower it....
..... and shorten the rears to lower it??) I knew it from youtube(the example is mercedes cars) , almost every car air suspension that sameway to do it. I think 5mm can change about 5finger lowered.

Wow... that was unexpected..... so I'm really looking at only changing the overall length about 3mm then huh? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that "careful precision" is a priority.

How many times did to have to remove and reinstall the wheels?

I did two times, until i figure it out max must be 5mm only diff than stock. I bet i save your time to install it only one time. 😉
