Hi,
Looking through eBay and came across theese air lowering kits for cars with air. I know it's been talked about trying to lower with VCdS without much luck but I was wondering if anyone has used or had experience with this kit??

Cant get into the secret menu on the FL RS6. I have tried loads but stuck. Searched Google for hours but there seems to be no solution for now.
That's what I am going to use.

I understood that Lowering with
VCDS does not require access to the hidden menu? I guess it is differnet on a FL?

Well yes and no. You can lower it a fraction but the problem is when above 35mph ( or there about) the car goes lower Adair if in dynamic and triggers an error as its too low. You need the menu to turn that feature off

Is the error unique to the FL? I have "a friend" who lowered by 17mm and has had no issues on a Pre FL.

Yes, the security code to access the module is alreayd known for the pre-FL cars. The FL has a different code which is still unknown.

When my "friend" lowered his there was no need to access the hidden menu, all the changes were done in
VCDS. Above circa 35mph there is no warning on the pre FL. So is the "too low" alert unique to the FL?
I believe that my "friend" lowered by 15mm all round not the full 17mm as I said before.

Sounds like it. I will lower mine this time home and report back. I did not bother because of what I read.
