BAAN AIRMATIC Lowering Links for Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet A238 are a model-specific mechanical lowering solution for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet A238 equipped with factory AIRMATIC air suspension.
A carefully chosen ride height can change the entire side profile of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet A238. These adjustable BAAN links are designed to improve the open-top profile with a subtle or more pronounced adjustable drop.
Developed around the E-Class Cabriolet A238 platform
The system gives the installer control over the final front-to-rear balance. That makes it possible to account for wheel diameter, tyre sidewall, vehicle load and the intended everyday ride height.
Vehicle-specific benefits
- Complete lowering-link kit matched to the vehicle’s factory sensor layout.
- Left-hand/right-hand thread design for adjustment without repeatedly releasing the factory sensor arms.
- Machined aluminium centre bodies with stainless-steel connection components.
- Dual safety clips and separate lock nuts at both ends of the adjuster.
- Reversible installation with the original vehicle electronics left untouched.
How the lowering reference is created
BAAN Lowering Links do not directly compress the air springs. They alter the geometry seen by the factory ride-height sensors. The control system responds by maintaining the vehicle around the new reference position, with no added electronics in the signal path.
Front-to-rear height selection
The BAAN set allows the E-Class Cabriolet A238 to be set from a near-standard position to roughly 50 mm lower at each axle. Front and rear can be tuned separately where required.
Measure from the wheel centre to the arch before and after every adjustment. Counting turns alone is not sufficient because the relationship between link length and body height differs by suspension geometry.
Component specification
The centre adjusters are machined from aluminium and use opposing thread directions. Stainless-steel link ends and ball-joint sockets provide corrosion resistance in the exposed suspension environment. Once the correct length is set, separate locking nuts secure both sides of the adjuster.
Each socket is retained by metal safety clips. Critical dimensions are inspected using measuring equipment capable of 0.001 mm resolution. The product is developed by BaanVelgen in Rotterdam and manufactured in Taiwan to BaanVelgen specifications.
Compatibility check
This product is intended for the following application when equipped with factory AIRMATIC air suspension:
- E-Class Cabriolet A238
Suspension specifications can vary by market, model year and optional equipment. Send BaanVelgen the VIN when confirmation is required before ordering.
Supplied components
The package contains the vehicle-specific adjustable links, all fitted stainless-steel socket ends, lock nuts, retaining clips and the relevant starting guidance. The listed price is for the complete vehicle set, not a single link.
Fitting the links
Fitment is mechanically straightforward, but careful measurement is essential. An experienced workshop should allow 60–90 minutes for installation, adjustment and a final inspection of the clips, clearances and sensor-arm movement.
Do not use the sensor arms as levers when releasing the original sockets. After fitting, confirm that the links move freely through the normal suspension range and do not touch adjacent components.
Technical FAQ
Is this a fixed lowering kit?
No. The final height can be fine-tuned through the threaded centre adjusters.
Can the car still self-level?
The factory self-levelling system remains in use. The links simply establish a lower mechanical reference position.
Will lowering change the ride?
A modest change generally retains the character of the factory system, but a larger drop reduces available suspension travel and may make the vehicle feel firmer.
Can a workshop install the kit?
Yes. The kit can be installed by a qualified workshop using normal hand tools and the supplied baseline guidance.
Is fitment reversible?
Yes. No permanent change to the suspension electronics is required, and the original links can be refitted.
