What did you do to / for your E53 today??

Are you wanting it lower or higher or what?

If you are wondering if the rear links are installed properly-- if they weren't you would have an air suspension inoperative light staring at you.

Whenever you have the wheels off the ground and measure the distance from the ground to the wheel well when you first drop it down it will read higher than after you have driven a bit to allow the tires to move out as they keep the suspension from settling to what it will normally be.

Whoops. What's got me wondering is 1) I had no "susp inactive" light at first then it came on briefly, the no light since (so far) and 2) I know the H&R Bars are supposed to be non adjustable but the 2 threaded nuts in the middle seem to allow for slight adjustability, where to these need to be set ( tight together in the middle or spread apart?).
Thanks for the input, really appreciate it!

The susp. inactive warning sometimes comes on when you do work such as you have done. As long as it went out after you drove a bit you are OK.

Where you set the link is up to you. Obviously, if they are "tight together" the rear will be lower. Also bear in mind that changes to either end will impact the other end in the opposite direction to some degree.

When I first installed the links I didn't like the way it was setting so I turned the links until they were tight together. I didn't like that either. Now they are a couple of turns shorter than they came but some distance from tight together. I wanted the gap on both ends to be the same but within 3/8in. is about all you should expect.

Again, it is your preference.

Thanks so much for the insight, that sheds the light I needed, makes sense now 😊

Got DIS / INPA, NCS Expert and SSSProgman all working (the Romanian Diagnostics cables provider) thanks to our friend in Romania on my new dedicated Dell D620 laptop (will only be used for diagnostics, 80 gb hd was clear before install)

Works great, recalibrated the air suspension, and was very easy to use with great directions for install!

Went out this morning and found that the roundel logo had washed off in last night's intense rain. The metal base was still there.

Bought a new roundel with grommets and spent 10 minutes replacing it. Easiest thing I've ever done on these cars.
