BAAN AIRMATIC Lowering Links for Mercedes-Maybach GLS X167 are a model-specific mechanical lowering solution for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS X167 equipped with factory AIRMATIC air suspension.
The proportions of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS X167 leave considerable room for a more deliberate OEM+ setup. BAAN Lowering Links make it possible to reduce the visual height of the Maybach GLS while retaining its original self-levelling and selectable suspension modes.
By keeping the modification at the sensor-link level, the BAAN kit remains straightforward to inspect, adjust and reverse. It also avoids the need to splice into the suspension electronics.
Why this kit suits the Maybach GLS X167
- 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.
Available adjustment range
| 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 Maybach GLS X167 depends on calibration, vehicle load, tyre pressure and wheel-and-tyre dimensions.

How the factory sensor system is used
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS X167 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.
Confirmed application
This product is intended for the following application when equipped with factory AIRMATIC air suspension:
- Maybach GLS X167
Suspension specifications can vary by market, model year and optional equipment. Send BaanVelgen the VIN when confirmation is required before ordering.
Contents of the set
- Complete BAAN lowering-link set for the front and rear axles
- Aluminium threaded centre adjusters
- Stainless-steel ends and ball-joint sockets
- Lock nuts and dual safety-retaining clips
- Vehicle-specific baseline and installation guidance
Installation and final setup
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.
Questions about Maybach GLS X167 lowering links
How much can the vehicle be lowered?
The kit provides an adjustment range from close to the factory position to approximately 50 mm lower at the front and rear. The usable setting depends on clearance, calibration and road conditions.
Are the links suitable for winter use?
The link ends and sockets are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Periodic cleaning and inspection remain advisable after heavy salt exposure.
Do I need an electronic controller?
No. The adjustable links change the sensor reference directly and do not add a controller to the suspension wiring.
Is the adjustment front and rear independent?
Yes. Front and rear settings can be selected separately to achieve the required visual balance.
What should be checked after installation?
Confirm even ride height, sensor-link clearance, retaining-clip engagement, tyre clearance and wheel alignment.
