RENNtech Lowering Module Installed
I dropped the car off at RENNtech a couple of weeks ago to get the LM installed. I am very satisfied with the product and the quality of install.
Found this spot while doing some errands today and I had my point-and-shoot camera with me = mini-photoshoot.

Hey that's Dadeland mall!!!! lol.
Your car looks sweet.
How long did it take them to install it? Do you like it? I was going to get it done at the same time as my Stage 1, but i decided to leave it for another day.

Definitely no visit workshop signals at ALL. I drop mine that low all the time, but i don't drive around like that. Isn't it a bit bouncy?? Consider having the thing remounted somewhere you can have access more easily and add the "remote" knobs so you don't have to unscrew the box every time. Other than that....WOOOAHH That is one sweet looking E!!

Looks great man but I would think the ride would be harsh as hell. Again, it looks sick man, just sick.

JESUS that looks sick. You dont get any rubbing at all driving at that height? Looks like your front fenders would be gone in a second! This module must be a good investment given that you can adjust the height whenever you like. Is it really that easy to use? Just turn the knobs and up/down it goes?

I'm sure it won't be long before someone steals my idea and makes the next gen ELM that will be fully on the fly (like mine is now)
VRUS, are you listening?? You source the electronics and I'll get the knobs and harness. This could be our first product?? Hehe!

I think I had my box before I knew you got yours from James..and before James came on board here...I'll send him a note...these boxes should all be built like that. I didn't take a knob off so I am not sure what I'm dealing with...

the ride isnt that bad with the car dumped..i've had a couple of slammed vipers, so maybe im just used to the bouncy/rough ride..i actually like it, it seems to handle alot better and the car feels tighter.
im not too keen on the idea of drilling into the module box..the only time im ever going to raise the car is to take it into servicing, and i dont mind taking the extra 5 minutes or so to gain access to the module..but your setup does look ALOT more convenient.
thanks for the compliment.

no rubbing whatsoever..when i picked up the car, the tech. had it set to number 4 (like a 1" drop or so) and it didnt suffice, so, i put it to 0 all the way around and ive had no issues (keeping fingers crossed
)its really easy to use, just unscrew 4 small screws and your on/off switch and the 3 sensor switches are right there..after you select which height you want, you cycle the airmatic system (by pressing the raise/lower button below the shifter) and the car drops to the desired level.

By the way, you do NOT have to cycle the car for it to do its thing. Just have the car running, put it in park and trun away. the car will react in a second or so. Pretty cool. That way, you can just keep turning one notch at a time until you get what you like.
