Red face Has anyone purchased from loweringlinks.net ?

I hate to start another thread about the same subject, but... since last week when I installed 20 inch 469m OEM takeoff wheels and tires from an F15 onto my 09', I'm trying to acquire a more leveled out stance on my 4.8i E70 (with airbags in the rear). I saw this website Product Line and was curious if anyone here has personally dealt with their products or has ever heard of anybody that has? They seem to be an extremely reasonably priced way to correct the huge gap in my rear wheel wells because I'm not wanting to go too extreme (just yet) and install a complete lowering kit on the X5. I'm just wanting to help eliminate the current raked stance and get the ride more level while maintaining as close to a stock ride as possible (considering I have a 3 week old newborn). Just fyi, to prevent blinding everyone with my headlights, I'd also have the lights adjusted accordingly IF I did indeed decide to experiment and go this route since it's so affordable. If I don't like how it turns out, oh well... Then I'll just reverse the process back to stock until I can figure out what I want to do for the long run. This is more or less just a temporary fix/experiment to see how it looks and functions because I'm not looking to slam the rear end of the vehicle, just get a tasteful leveled out stance while maintaining as close to a factory ride (for my passengers) as possible. Thanks in advance for all of your time!

He was on xoutpost back in the day. Not sure if he is still there though. His links are great, I had a set on my e70 4.8 years ago. Install is super easy, just make sure you keep the links the same length and don't install them until the car goes to sleep. Don't want the bags adjusting themselves when you are moving the sensor around.
