Thank for your input guys!

My car has the air suspension, rather than the damper/spring setup (don't think it's got springs anyway??....)

Have I read somewhere on this forum about a 'widget' (a brace?) you can attach to the air suspension that lowers/adjusts ride height?
May have got the above wrong.

Like most things 'RS' related, anything you change isn't often a cheap change, but would be nice to know options for when I'm feeling flush ;-)
Since you have stock air suspension, it is fairly easy :).
You could go the cheap way and get lowering links (basicly replacement arms that allows the air suspension to go lower). I don't directly have links for them and prices, but several brends out there...In the end you still need to VCDS recode/adjust the suspension height values.
But you can also go 'high tech' (expensive) and get a CETE lowering suspension module. This doesn't need lowering links and is more or less plug and play. Over wifi (the new module) you can controle and setup the car height for any ride mode (comfort, auto, dynamic) and has an additional 'show mode' feature witch almost completly lowers the car. Also you can adjust the speed limit of when the car goes faster. With the app you can adjust the car height at any given moment, set profiles, etc....
Downside is the price, bit more expensive then H&R suspension module, but options etc...

PS: https://europrice.us/controller-package ... suspension at discountprice untill 9 may atm ;).

In a simple term, how do you lower the C7 like the below picture?

Rough cost and procedure?

Any real negatives?

TIA
