Dealer or an independent can calibrate the suspension ride height to whatever setting you want.

I'm gonna be doing this shortly.

A combination of a calibration and the InTrax module would probably be the best way to go.

once you set your desired normal ride height I would get an alignment right after you install

K thanks guys, I messaged the guy sellin the Intrax and have not recieved a reply yet....I tried contacting Intrax myself but there numbers dont work? I am still on warranty so I am not sure what the dealer will do.....But ya for sure once i get it lowered a wheel alignment sounds like a good idea


You guys ever consider putting wheel spacers on? I just bought replica E70 Y spokes and what to make it aggresive looking
