Check engine light may be because of the lower octane level of ord U/L the ecu cannot retard the timing to cope, i believe it can "learn" to advance the timing if higher octane level fuel is used but cannot reverse likewise.does that make sense. should be a simple matter of an ecu rest at your local dealer. Sorry no idea about the droplinks!

CEL is not activated by fuel octane level, you need to check (or have it checked) to see what fault code is in there. Drop links, try a main dealer or there are various places that sell billet drop links and/or replacement bush kits.
