BAAN AIRMATIC Lowering Links for Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222 are a model-specific mechanical lowering solution for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222 equipped with factory AIRMATIC air suspension.
A carefully chosen ride height can change the entire side profile of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222. These adjustable BAAN links are designed to introduce a measured drop that respects the W222’s comfort-led character and long-wheelbase proportions.
The vehicle-specific starting dimensions are intended to simplify installation. Final measurements should still be taken at all four wheel arches because production tolerances and vehicle equipment can influence the measured result.
Lowering without replacing the factory suspension
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222 measures suspension position through links between the axle or control arm and its height sensors. Changing the effective length of those links changes the mechanical reference supplied to the controller. The existing compressor, air springs, dampers and user controls remain in service.
Adjustment window
| Front adjustment | Close to factory height through approximately 50 mm lower |
|---|---|
| Rear adjustment | Close to factory height through approximately 50 mm lower |
Use the stated range as an adjustment envelope rather than a guaranteed measured drop. The final result on the S-Class W222 depends on calibration, vehicle load, tyre pressure and wheel-and-tyre dimensions.
Reasons to choose the BAAN set
- Vehicle-specific specification: supplied as a complete front-and-rear set for this application.
- On-car fine adjustment: the opposing thread directions allow the centre adjuster to be turned while installed.
- Underbody-ready materials: aluminium adjusters are paired with corrosion-resistant stainless-steel ends and sockets.
- Secure final setting: locking nuts and dual metal retaining clips provide positive mechanical retention.
- No coding: no software changes or electronic suspension controller are required.

- Aluminium threaded centre adjusters
- Stainless-steel ends and ball-joint sockets
- Lock nuts and dual safety-retaining clips
- Vehicle-specific baseline and installation guidance
Measurement and installation notes
Installation normally takes approximately 60–90 minutes for an experienced technician. Measure the original ride height before starting, adjust both sides in equal increments and secure every locking nut and retaining clip before the vehicle is lowered from the lift.
Once the vehicle has completed a settling drive, recheck all four measurements and arrange a professional alignment. A significant ride-height change can alter toe, camber, tyre clearance and available suspension travel.
Answers for S-Class W222 owners
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.
