Ride quality with Techart module..?

I've seen it mentioned how the ride quality of Techart's lowering module is vastly superior to lowering links. However, I've never read a comparison to the ride of the same Cayenne pre module installation.

I'm getting ready to purchase a module, and would like to be reassured by an owner that there in no difference in ride once the module is installed and the car's computer calibrated.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

There's really no difference in ride quality... we do it all the time.

Alex, how does the TechArt module compare to the Cargraphic? I believe you sell both.

I'm looking for a module that will automatically lower my GTS to a height just slightly lower than Loading Level when I put the car in Park. I would also like to be able to drive the car at a level that is close to the height of the OEM Loading Level, but also have the ability to raise it up higher to gain more comfort on rough roads. It would be great if the car could lower automatically when it reaches a certain speed for better aerodynamics.

Do either of these modules perform these functions? I believe they both do....to a certain extent.

Please let us know which one you recommend.

Thanks!

Hi Tom, we've done both and they both do that when you put it in park.... The Cargraphic one has an on/off switch you can install to go back to stock. The TechArt does also require a trip to the dealer to be re-calibrated with the PIWIS.

if I understand correctly the techart is still warranted through manufacture which is a big plus.

I'd like to make sure I understand...

The Cargraphic module does everything the TechArt one does - Plus - it does not require a trip to the dealer for calibration, and can be bypassed!?
What's the catch? Why are folks still using TechArt? Is the Cargraphic unit crazy difficult to install or something? ... much more expensive?
