2022 Model S, my links are set at -6 all around and I really want to go a little lower. Might go -8 all around, what are you thoughts? I'm running stock 19's. Have anyone gone lower and regret it? Any problems?

This is why the location dependent suspension height is awesome!Plaid with 20’s. I set mine at -4.5 and I wish I’d gone down to -6 or 7. Of course my front spoiler likes where it is now.
I waited for a whole month after I received my Links. One day I said screw this...I can't wait anymore! Lowered it to -6 and all is great! Now I want to go even loweris -6 the minimum lowering required to prevent/mitigate the half-shaft vibration issue? I have my N2ITIVE links NIB sitting at home pending install mainly because I hate messing with suspensions or lowering vehicles and the BS that usually follows with warranty issues from most manufacturers/dealers.
From factory the rear is raked a little higher. Bumping another mm of adjustment in the rear allowed me to even the rake out front to back.Appreciate the great info Awiner. Any particular reason you went -6 on the rear vs -5 all around? I'm on the 21" wheels currently, but will be moving to 20x10" Signature Wheels front and rear as soon as they deliver them to me. At a minimum, I may mirror your settings, but curious why the different front and rear numbers. I also bought N2itive's adjustable camber arms to address the inner tire wear issue and will be getting both the camber arms and lowering links installed once I find a competent shop near me that can do the work and the alignment afterwards.
On 21's, yours look lower than mine. Great looking car!-5 is the initial setting that is recommended by N2itive to help decrease/eliminate the half shaft alignment and vibtation issue. I am running -5 front and -6 rear (21” wheels) as this is a daily driver. N2itives adjustable camber arms were installed to maintain reasonable camber setting upon lowering.
Each negative (longer) mm of adjustment on the link will yield approx a 5.6mm lower drop. -5 relates to a 28mm drop (a little over an inch from factory).
The smaller the diameter of wheel the more negative setting you will need to minimize the fender gaps.
Thank You. Another angle where you can see the wheel gaps better. This amount of drop allows for daily driving ease. Need to enter steep driveways at an angle and sometime raise the suspension but no issues with speed bumps, etc.On 21's, yours look lower than mine. Great looking car!
Getting the links installed soon and could use some advice. May you please let me know the ground-to-fender measurement of the front and rear with your settings?Thank You.

Thanks for sharing your insight and photos. I went the same route with n2itive links, -5 for the front and -6 for the rear.

Any rubbing? My installer had concerns and I ultimately elected to follow his advice and not install them but I'm rethinking that decision.just switched to 20x10.5 square from oem 21’s. did the standard 5/6 for the 21’s and settled on 7.5/8.5 for my square setup. good stance for 20’s with a little less than a finger gap.
