they figured it out. all working now
all i can say is AMAZING ride quality. i didnt expect less from techart
i am sure the other modules do pretty much the same thing.
save your bux and never get those adjustable links. it felt like i was driving a ford taurus for the past year.

Glad it worked out! I love my TA module.

When you lower the car, do the wheels butterfly? So its less bumpy than the links? I have links on my 05 and it was pretty crappy

i don't know what you mean by "butterfly" but the ride is night and day better. no bumpiness/jarring etc. i should have done this mod the first day i got the car

Been riding on my TA module with 20" Toyo Proxes for almost 2 years and 35k miles on the tires. Looks like tires have another 10-15k miles left. Very happy with the TA module.

Is it the TA module that has the proper wiring harness or does it still have to be hardwired?

As well, why does it make a turbo with air suspension better?

plug and play in the rear (no wire splicing like other modules)
however it still has to be coded by a PWIS tester

i assume they are OEM modules reprogrammed by techart to give added functionality
the low/normal level are lowered 1 notch
and the highest level is raised one level

the module also adjusts the dampening of the air shocks so the ride is very smooth at the low settings unlike "lowering links" which just trick the system lower and do not adjust the dampening
