Lowering module

I've decided to buy a lowering module. My car is lowered with SDS, but I want to go a little bit lower.

I've been looking at det module from Lorinser (http://www.sportservice.lorinser.com/suspension.html) and the LoMo M1 (http://loweringmodule.com/index.php/...ingmodule.html).

I can't decide wich one to choose. Almost equal prices, and the same functions(?)

Anybody have experiences with one of them or both modules and can come up with some advices?

No experience with modules, some experience with adjustable links. They both serve the same function. Any aversion to links? They're so much simpler and less expensive. Here's a little write up I did in a previous thread:

Thank you.

Actually I have adjustable links, but I have not mounted them (yet).

I like the idea of adjusting the ride level from within the car. Going with links I'm stuck with a low car all the time. I want to go low, but not all the time

Yeah, that part with the module is cool. I think one manufacturer has a mobile app that lets you make the adjustments on your phone.

I think that's Renntech v3. Using Android phone or tablet.

That sounds right. Did you watch the install video on the Renntech? Looks like a huge pain in the ***.

Yes I did. The LoMo M1 with the M1 QuickInstall Harness seems much easier to install: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uuOb6eEdpLE

I ordered an M1 Lomo module coming from links because I don't want to ride low all the time if I don't have to save tire wear. I'll let you know how it goes

The LoMo is a much cleaner install for sure. I guess if you want to go really low and need to be able to come back up instantly that would be the way to go. Not cheap though.

If you're happy with a more subtle drop that still gives you enough clearance for daily driving either the STAR drop or links would do the trick. Personally I like the look of a little gap between the wheel and fender lip rather than having the wheels tucked up into the fender well.

If I were going to use a module though, I'd pick the LoMo over the Renntech.

guys, i purchased my lomo m1 and what a nice way to lower your car. Total control at your fingertips but most importantly...EASY INSTALL!!

It took me probably 30 minutes to install it. No cutting wires..just plug and play the thing. I don't own this video but check it out..he does the install in this video on the W221.


At the moment my car is getting upgraded. i am face lifting my car..so when that is done, i will talk about the lomo in that thread..

LOMO

Go with the module. After all the experience I had with links and riding low 24/7, I'm stepping up to the module. I hate that I have to do a 3 point turn on any driveway just to get up. Plus I ripped off my bumpers a couple of times as well. Haha..

Why you selected the module over the links?

Question on the LoMo Module: I know its primary purpose is to lower, but does it have the ability to lift the suspension also? There may be situations where I want the Airmatic to temporality go to maximum height and I don't know if the factory lift setting puts them at maximum height.
