Hap:

I think you can lower the rear suspension somewhat by changing the adjustment on the SLS. This is done by the threaded adjustment rod, or by loosening and moving the clamp on the lateral rod (sway bar I think?).

I was more focused on bringing the SLS system into a reasonable ride height range to match the stock front suspension, rather than making it definately lower. Was able to adjust with a little trial and error, combined with bouncing the rear of the car with the engine idling to activate the system.

For lowering the car with new components, I am not aware of lower replacement parts that retain the SLS.

Hope this helps.

And if so, what are the best components?
