Ride quality better with Module VS Links?

I would assume no matter which route you go, module or drop links, if you drop both to same height that ride quality would be the same right? Maybe a module will not allow you to go as low as with links?

One thing I don't understand is when people say they like the module better because of the flexibility of being able to adjust their height via their air suspension lever. I can still adjust my ride height with my drop links its just its lower on each level. Isn't that the same as with a module?

I have the Techart module. Things I like:
- When you lock your car, it goes into the lowest setting automatically
- No splicing = switch back to stock literally in 30 seconds
- Although you can go low, your terrain heights are basically the same as stock

I thought I read a member here mention that they still had to splice the wires and that the module was not plug and play. Was that a different brand module? Which tuners modules require splicing and which don't?

FVD does require it but it isn't that bad - took about 20 minutes.

No, my TechArt module requires no cutting and plugs in and out within seconds.

I have the TechArt module as well; 'plug and play' !

I think the Rinspeed may require splicing.

So with the module you are still using the lever on the center console to adjust the height right? So after installing the module you still only have 3 choices of height plus the load level?

Yes, with both the module and links you have the same number of choices as stock and with both you still use the center console lever.

If you must splice, how hard is it to remove the unit at a later date?

Any of you guys know how low from stock each of these modules will lower the car? I know with links you can go up to about 1.5" - 2' lower than stock.

And I'm assuming that ride quality would be the same then with either module or drop links.

Is there any negative side affects from using a lowering module? Are the before-after pictures someone could post? Finally, where can you order this unit?

You simply remove the module and insert a plug in the connector that restore the original circuitry.
