Finally! lowered pics today
 

Finally picked her up. had some trouble with the rear sensor rods but shes finally lowered. she is a little on the stiff side when hitting something serious in the road but other than that she feels unbelievable!! the cornering has improved and she handles so much better with a 3.5" drop.

Are you running any wheel spacers for the rear?

Looks awesome! Glad it came out good.

none. just took off some negative camber and the tire moved out of the wheeel well

Most thanks goes out to you(Weasel) and my local indy for getting the job done.

:bow: :wow: :drool: :hawt:

Looks awesome, J!

sweet, looks great!

Thanks! too bad I missed you this weekend.

Looks real good. I hope to get my new springs, struts, and sway bars installed this Friday.

eibach swaybars for the win

how's the handling? I think you should do the black vinyl roof overlay ;)

That.looks.amazing! I just came in my pants.

That is the EXACT look I want. I need coilovers :(

Damn.... That Easter egg looks awesome. .... Need to delete that rear wiper thingymajig for cleaner look and add the ACS rep roof spoiler :thumbup:

I thought about the carbon fiber roof. that would be the first option

That looks beautiful! Thumbs UP :) i cant wait to lower mine, but it wont be as low as yours... but hey, as long as it puts a smile when I drive...

I went for the one look and feel I wanted....the three inch drop helped out with that

Thats what she is. thanks everyone! So much to do....So little time

Nice big smile and she handles great. I can take G's like I couldnt before

Yeah, no kidding. :( Next time tho.

Can't wait to see the dropped beast! A carbon fiber roof would be killerrrrr! :thumbup:

WOW! Justin!!

Well worth the wait!!

Welcome to the dropped club!!


She looks amazing!!

......on to the next!

Tom has a point with the replica acs spoiler!! Great little addition.

Rich:thumbup:

Nice drop. What kind of springs are those?

He went with KW coilovers (V3)

You are just on KW's in the front right? Bags in the rear?

yes. the air bags can be set low but you have to be careful its not too low or you bounce..than you could blow your airbag.

wow, nice drop

Ahh I see, I have yet to see a 3.0 slammed on coilovers... Richirich has them all around I believe but havent seen any side shots...

SHE FUKIN SLAMMED

Sorry for my language.haha

I like it slammed too!

Looks great. Who's rear links did you use to trick the air bags? I've lowered mine with the H&R front coil springs and the adjustable rear links but I've broken two of the links in the past year. Probably winter crud getting in the heim joint and causing problems but now I just carry a spare.

Here's mine, modest drop. 1" front 1.25" rear. Plain old 4.4 with the 4.8is rear flares and running boards, and 25mm H&R spacers behind the rear wheels. Didn't want to go much lower in the rear since I tow my track car a lot, and run close to 600lbs tongue weight. Still tows like a champ.

He had it lowered at a shop using a GT1 tester, just reset the normal height level through the air suspension computer. :thumbup: You can ask him,Jose (twinspoppa) or me for details as I gave them the info needed to do it.

I assume this requires access to the factory tool and software? Why can't we get the software to load on a laptop like I can with Audi VAG software? I have the software and can raise and lower the suspension on an Audi allroad via my laptop in about 5 minutes. And reprogram my sound system, change park sensor volume and pitch, control the windows via the remote etc. There's no way my dealer is going to allow changing the ride height. That's why I went with the shortened/ threaded adjustable H&R links for the rear, it didn't require programming.

That's what Jose (twinspoppa) has, the GT1 software setup on a GT1 and diagnostic heads/cables etc. He has 4 wheel air and lowered his via the GT1 laptop.

I know a few members on here bought the laptop GT1s from the same company, but don't remember everyone who got one.

Here's Jose's thread with all kinds of info on it.
