Ride height sensors

I have done testing all week. I now have adjustable ride height sensors to safely lower the PTT about 0.75 to 1 inch. Tested safe. No check engine light. No negative effects on handling. I still have perfect clearance without rubbing with my 22" setup.

Waiting for some additional parts this week. I can have sets available for any interested forum members by next week. Please PM me if interested.

Very nice. The car totally comes into line when it's dropped. Normally, I'm not a fan of white on a big car but yours is exceptional. I slammed my Viper a few years ago and love aesthetics and handling but hate doing speed bumps and inclines one wheel at a time, but if you can control that, all the better. Any plans to track it? Safe driving!

No issues with speed bumps. The Air suspension has two additional settings. 1" higher for comfort and sport mode. About 2" higher for an elevated mode to clear driveways and speed bumps. The setting in the pics is sport plus which is the lowest setting.

No plans to track at this time. Might change my mind after I attend a couple PCA track events.

Some more mods this week. Painting the rear apron and bumper light. Changing the rear badging to satin black. New pics later this week.

I now have the lowering links for anyone with air suspension interested in lowering their car. I will post some pics tomorrow.

As promised. Adjustable height sensor links.
Front and rear adjustable links pictured next to originals. Long links are for the rear and short links for the front.
For lowering the rears must be shortened and fronts extended. Adjustable while installed with locking jam nut to maintain adjustment. Retains full function of all height levels when installed. PM me for any additional info.
