What type of lowering module is it ? Where do you mount it.
Thanks.

I have this unit.




It is a V2 from a company called programa. Check out their website. http://www.programainc.com/product_d...aspx?sf=LCMR01 Download the install PDF for mounting and install details.

Programa made the V2 unit that Renntech puts their name on and sells for much more.

Here is a good place to put the control unit.

This type of system seems to be the best lowering solution. I know lots of guys using it on both airmatic and ABC. The cool part about ABC is there are speed settings were you can adjust back to 1/2 normal ride height and full ride height. My SL is lowered 1.4 inches in front and 1.2 inches in back. At 10 MPH it automatically comes back up 1/2 way at 25 it comes back to normal drive height. This way I don't have alignment or handling issues and still get the lowered look while the car is parked or moving slowly. If you want to keep it slammed and 70 MPH, you can do that too. It is fully adjustable.
