Lowering Modules

For those cars that are lowered:

Do they affect acceleration, or launch? How about the ride? how it effected.

Thanks

it can affect weight transfer to the rear when lowered,but you can raise the car back up to negate that with the button on the center console.the ride will be slightly firmer but the car feels more planted,if you go to larger wheels as i did that is where you will notice the ride being affected,but not considerably even with 20" wheels.i used the kleemann module,it's more expensive than the other options but will get you a little bit lower and you can put it back to factory height in about five minutes.the rear height is adjustable as well if you feel the need to do so.

I have Carlson, it has been ok. I think its goes the lowest of all the modules. This is the new version with the bypass which cannot be detected when you bring it into the dealer. Mine needs to be adjusted but overall I have been happy.

no it takes about five minutes to unplug the module and plug the factory wiring back in.if you raise the car with the button on the console it takes about 30 seconds.sorry,no pics.
