Electronic lowering module
I've been debating for awhile as to which direction I should go with getting a lowering module for the air suspension. There's been no real full feedback on this. My concerns are ride quality and any problems with plugging into the factory unit. The techs at the dealer tell me there has been guys coming in with problems with aftermarket lowering units but they can't remember which ones. Any help in this area would be appreaciated. I think the lowering bolts from 9ff look unstable & the cost is rediculous for 4 bolts.

The beauty of the system is in its sheer simplicity.
Take a look at the OEM and the 9ff links and YOU tell me which look "unstable" - by the way, Porsche parts can be rather expensive. The plastic OEM links are `$125 a PIECE. Obviously, they are both weak and inexpensive to produce. 9ff is a far smaller company than Porsche AG.
You can see the locking pins that back up the torqued nuts that lock the links length.
When you consider that they were designed and produced by 9ff to a higher standard of tolerance the price IMO is too LOW!!
Here is the plastic OEM link.

I have also been wondering which lowering modules you guys use
Rinspeed and gemballa both have to tap into the main wires whereas others are more plug and play? do you guy have one that you recommend? I have a used rinspeed one but my dealer refuses to install it due to having the wires tapped..They are recommend one that is just "plug and play"
any recomendations will be helpful

ffr!
don't you have electric module? i thought you did...
btw, you can adjust(by turning the **** BEFORE install-not like press of button ) height from 40mm to 60mm.*each turn gives you +-4mm.
but i was advised from 9ff not to go beyond 40mm which you can drop up to 60mm.
fyi-i remember evan's tt which had beyond 40mm drop(i assume) with fvd electric module...looked insane!
also, i heard you might bottom out if you drop beyond 40mm.
if you are planning for both...
IMHO, i'd rather ask you to go with one...not both.
