Check out this thread: N2itive Lowering Links for Refreshed LR/Plaid
If you want the most adjustability and precision, it’s N2itive, if you’re more concerned about price, there are other options that are cheaper but with less or no adjustability, and less precise adjustments.
Only 2 options so far for the Model S refresh are the N2itive links or the Unplugged lowering brackets --> Model S Plaid + LR - Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit (2021+) - Unplugged Performance

Blox are heavily used on the 'legacy' Model S for their simplicity and low cost, they're just as solid for Plaid. I use Blox on my car.
The main difference between the Blox and the N2itive is that the N2itive have markings on the links themselves to let you fine tune your change in ride height and lock it in without any other tools.
The ride level sensors are very sensitive.....1mm difference in length of the link translates to 1/4" of change in ride height.
So, For Blox, you need a digital caliper to make sure it's perfect. But the process is still simple - measure the factory links, and then make the lowering links 1mm longer than the factory links for each 1/4" of drop you want. then tighten it down. You just have to spend a little bit more time on the Blox. Generally, though, once you have everything installed and the suspension settled at the height you like, you'll never touch them again.
Just FYI, and I don't mean this to be a dig in any way - but the fact that you mention lowering springs for a car with air struts means you're not really aware of how air suspension works. I'd really suggest at least watching a youtube video on how air suspension works so that you understand how you're manipulating your system into lowering itself without changing other hardware.

I have Blox on my Plaid and they work great, so what they’re supposed to! I added 7.5mm to the front link’s length and 9mm to the rear link’s length; all four corners now sit 28” from the ground to the fender

I have used both and strongly prefer links. I personally like Blox - they are cheap and get the job done. N2itive are great, just expensive.
