I purchased my Equus about a year ago and loved everything about the vehicle…except, like many vehicles from the factory, the glaringly large and unsightly wheel well gaps. As many Equus owners also know the handling falls a little short due to the top heavy nature of the Equus. So in addition to achieving a cleaner look, I also wanted to lower the vehicles center of gravity in an attempt to achieve better performance handling. Having a technical background I found these two items over time to be less than satisfactory so I set to work on finding a solution.
After scouring the intraweb for months I unfortunately could not locate a single supplier in the world who manufactured an air suspension lowering kit for the Equus. So, it would appear the RSD would have to come from me. I began by researching electronic modules and found a company that successfully lowered an Equus, but the cost of achieving this were abominable (i.e. a few thousand dollars)! In addition, the module limited the degree of lowering and the system had to be hard wired, yikes! Removing the modules would also prove labor and cost prohibitive as well. Clearly, not a solution. Fortunately, I was able to redevelop a new strategy, one that included creating and installing a variety of trial and error adjustable links systems over several months. Thankfully I found a solution! Results showed up to a 2 inch drop front and rear. Of course, you don’t have to go this low…or you can go lower if the suspension and your road conditions allow.
This is an original design and these are the only fully adjustable lowing linkages available for the Equus worldwide. The links are made of the highest quality A4 marine grade stainless steel available, so they will not corrode over time and will hold up to even the most extreme weather conditions. The hardware itself is manufactured in Germany and consists of only the finest grades and highest tolerances.
Installation is extremely simple! It will take more time to lift the vehicle and remove the tire than it will take to install the links. Anyone with minimal technical know-how and access to common household tools can very easily install all four links in well under an hour. Best yet, the kit can be very easily removed if you wish to return to the factory, OEM ride height settings.
The kit includes 4 adjustable links, 2 front and 2 rear. Detailed instructions, including photographs, will also be provided and I am always available to help answer questions. In addition, if you are local to me I will be happy to install the links for you in exchange for a tank of petrol.
When taking into consideration the quality, engineering RSD, rarity, ease of installation, and finished product one could never go wrong! 100% ebay feedback member so buy with confidence!
