RennTech V2 or V3: That is the question
Trying to decide on which one. I have searched "V3" and not much is coming up.
I am trying to find the real world differences of the two from those who have installed them. Pro's / Con's etc.
The only thing I know about the V3 is that I can program via my Laptop. However, it doesn't seem to interface via a remote for real time adjustments like the V2 does.
I would love to be able to lower via STAR, but I am just not that confident yet with the systems that are for sale out there (yet). (It seems that the Dealer's don't want to touch it
).

I just ordered the V2 with remote for $1250. The dealer told me to opt for the V2 over the V3 since the only advantage was computer programming in the V3. From what I hear STAR is good but the computer defaults to the stock ride heights when driving. For example the car when hits a certain speed will automatically raise via STAR. With the ELM it will not raise. I am not an expert but this is what I was told.

i ordered the V2 from james @ACG, but ended up being shipped the V3. I like the plug/play via laptop. Upload the disc and chose your setting and import to the car and it lowers.

Not sure w/ V2, but for V3, i can still use the sport 1/2 to lower slightly. And to raise all the way up as well. Which i needed to do when we got hit with 30inches of snow back in Feb.

The laptop version in V3 is very cool, we played with it at Famoso on Rick's car 
He had 5 or 6 settings saved as files and switched between them seamlessly.

Guys, you can buy a 7" touch screen remote for the V3 ELM.
Links have served me well but I decided to buy an ELM because I want to be able to adjust/switch it off when I want.
Renntech are shipping me out a V3 and remote next week. I will take some pics of the when I get it.

V3 remote
Err, I was expecting a nice sleek 7"monitor but instead I got...
this..
Advent ADV3500PC XP table. Anyone heard of it and/or use one? I don't think this is or has been sold here in the UK.
