Lowering Options Cayenne TT

Neeed some help with Lowering Options? I have searched the board and can only find spotty inf on this. I'd like to know the options and any feedback or suggestions on each. I'd appreciate the info or a link to an applicable thread.

Thanks again!

3 I've heard of:

Champion

TechArt

Switzer

Don't mean to be a dick, but there are hundreds of threads on here about your questions and options. Search is your friend.

Thanks Dick, I mean Bob.
Sorry I didn't mean to be a dick either. I did try searching and came up with a bunch of long and non detailed threads, some with conflicting info. I'm looking for what has been considered by those in the know to be the best options for Air suspension equiped cars (ie at any cost and price wise). I've already discounted the links and had found some info on the 3 options above. I'm awaiting a response from Switzer. I do appreciate your response, in all seriousness, however I have responded to tons of people about suspension set-ups, etc. when it has been posted before. If you have a quick and knowledgeable answer or a link to a good thread, you'll find it is appreciated greatly on this board if you respond with that info.

Thanks again,
Dick, I mean Joe!

I just installed links. Can't imagine spending 2k when you can spend $200 to get the same result. + don't have to mess with wiring / electronics.

Hi racer,

We currently have our lowering module in stock. Essentially, what our module does is lower each of your DRIVING levels by 55mm (pre-facelifted cars) or 45mm (post-facelift). Loading height remains the same, the module simply lowers the height of each of the drivable levels.

If you have any questions, or would like pricing, please feel free to let me know. I can't post pricing in a non-classified thread.

-Tom

Absolutely false... Links ride much harsher than lowering modules. I've had both and took the links out after only a week. The Techart module I have works flawlessly and keeps much of the factory "ride quality" even though I am on 22's.... as the saying goes... you get what you pay for....

Good point. The good thing about the module is that it leaves the factory suspension geometry intact. The only thing it does is basically re-define the "perception" the vehicle has of what height it's actually set at. It moves that reference point xx millimeters, depending on which module you have.

Thanks for the input guys. Tom sent a PM.

I heard from several guys the links were harsh and contributed to tire wear.

Will likely try the Champion. Thanks!

How exactly could they be any more harsh - its not like the modules are doing anything over and above the links mechanically - same with tire wear. If you don't get your alignment redone either are going to hurt tire wear on a lowered car...

BTW, how do you like your upsolute chip? Which option is the "530hp" version?

?


Curious to hear the answer to this too. If the ride height is determined by the air pressure then it would be the same in either system. One is just accomplishing it thought mechanical means and the other through electronic.
