I went with the H&R kit: lowering springs for from and rear end links.

Been running them for 3 years without any issue.

Here's how she looks

The H&R "Kit" should include the links already if you order the correct part no.

These might help....
- H&R site (click on the camera icon no the right to see the photo)
- ebay
- and ebay

I'd say remove the rear air bags, and sell them to me (if they are still in great shape)
