I originally had a RennTech lowering module and it was great, I wanted the
same put on my next car but they fitted a Programma and IMO it is not as
good, especially for comfort.

lol guess what? this is what Renntech originally used & just rebranded a Renntech part, it was Renntechs 1st gen lowering ELM did the 1 you just get come w/the remote control w/lcd screen? it's a fantastic unit..

I already have an ELM and I went with Programa also. I didn't see any reason to pay Renntech $1,000 more to have RT on the side of the very same unit. I have a nice drop set for when the car is stopped and rolling slow but raises back to normal ride height when at normal driving speeds. To me, you get the nice look of the lowered car without the loss in ride characteristic and performance.
This is the best lowering solution there is IMO.

OK so it is the same, but I will stay firm on my judgement, that is the
ride on my RennTech in my 65 was better than the ride on my 63 with
the Programma, same size wheels same 25 profile tyres.
The most annoying thing is when a dealer says he is going to fit a RennTech
and fits the Programma in stead, that is cheating..

IMO, this is how you get the best of both worlds of having the car look great stopped or going slow and still get the ride characteristics the R230 delivers.
If you don't like this option, I suggest a kidney belt and be sure to wave every time you pull up next to a "boy racer" in his slammed Vauxhall Corsa, as he bounces up and down along the M6 with you.

I don't know what I paid because it was with other things, but I WAS told
it would be a RennTech. At first the way the garage set it was very low and
ridiculously jumpy and hard. So cal1 I think told me to adjust it and where
it was. I spent hours before anything over 35 mm on the back was far to
hard, the front only needed 20 mm to sit perfect. I would like to take the
back down to maybe 45 mm the garage had set it on minus 60mm to get
it looking right. For some reason every wide body kit I see looks to high
on the back. I like comfort too much, that's why I am looking for 19 inch
rims with 30 profile tyres to suit a wide body, I appreciate you guys helping.

Hulk,
Thanks for all the info, and for adding me to the list.
Also, my error in the PM - I'd forgotten THIS forum uses my e-mail name as the user name.
