RS6 (C7) lowering nightmare

[MikeFish]

Have you read up on the suspension module. You basically set the new ride heights for comfort and dynamic and the just use the MMI to select the profile.

dasquade covered it all in an earlier post:

I would suggest the CETE lowering module. I go it on S6 C7 and love it.
Pro's:
*it shouldn't take dealer too much time to install it. It maybe takes 1h for installing. I did it myself (hardest part is getting the canbus cable out). But once installed, it is soo userfriendly and you can still adjust when ever you want over phone.
*compaired to lowering links, you still have controle over the rideheight IN EACH drive select mode. For each mode (comfort - auto - dynamic - efficiency) you can individually set it wanted ride height.
*you can adjust 'per axle', altough it VCDS allows you to recalibrate per wheel.
Con's:
*More expensive then lowering links, but compaired to lowering links you can still manipulate the suspension over app, instead of having to adjust the lowering links.
*altough the suspension is great, keep aware the compressor needs its time and isn't meant to be adjusted in big steps quickly after each other (doing so can result in an error because things getting too warm).

I highly recommand it, once set, one almost never uses the app anymore. You still got your 'raise/lower' MMI option in case you want the car raise for steep situations and using the onboard MMI suspension modes you adjust your required comfort/hardness.

The owner of CETE is a vey nice guy, in case of problems you can instantly contact him and he will do what ever it takes to help you out.
*while you at it, maybe add the CETE exhaust valve module to the basket, also bit expensive but .

Well it is indeed the cheapest solution, but....it might take some adjusting to get the correct wanted height during install. No big issue offcourse.
BUT with lowering links you will lower the car in ALL it's suspension modes (comfort - dynamic - effiency). Again no insane issue but it will be fixed and lineair with how much you drop the car in general (drop of 3cm in dynamic = 3cm drop in comfort). All depends what you want....i have with my module dynamic at -35mm, comfort at -15mm, efficiency stock). You car will be new and no car inspection yearly i guess (mine is Light Van so needs a yearly inspection, one button click...back stock). Stock links are pretty fragile, i wouldn't want to replace them .

But never the less, lowering links are indeed cheap compaired to the module, but it is fixed and permant (i like my gadgets ).
Never the less, good luck and enjoy .

Gents, am I correct in that any CETE type
Module only works with factory air suspension fitted RS6 cars, it won’t work with cars with DRC. Appreciate any feedback.
Thx.

Correct, you will need lowering springs or coil overs to lower a car with DRC.

Thx Mike, thought so.
Believe Gepfeffert also do a hybrid add-on KW system which retains the factory DRC which fits the RS6 (HLS2 or 4).
