4.8is ride height - how low can you go?
 
Curious how low anyone has successfully set their ride height with only hitting the bump stops on the hardest of hits? And presumably in access mode the car might actually be on the bump stops?

You can pick any setting you wish, The bags tend to take a hit on life span when you deflate them "too" much. Plan on replacements at this point if they are OE.

With adjustable links possible to drop it while not driving or driving under 80kmh, after 80kmh its automatically will stands in normal height. You edit parameters via CAN, but still will not be so low. For stance look while driving anyway air ecu and external setup required.

Thanks - any idea how low is still "safe" for the suspension? I'm not looking to go silly low, just lower to make getting in and out a bit easier (without having to remember to engage access mode) and to look a bit less like it's on stilts.



I'm currently running about 40mm lower than standard and ride seems OK but it does seem more choppy than at standard height. Need to set it back to standard and see if it's just my imagination.


Unfortunately I've got runflats which probably don't help the ride quality.
