those with ProgRama modules -

i have been talking with Samantha at ProgRama and she has been top notch, but i have stumped her and thought i would turn the community to ask my question.

For those with the ProgRama module can you tell me if/how far past stock height you can raise the car? I am asking as I have a driveway that is a b*tch and need to raise the car more than "raise" button that is standard on the car.

So my ask, can you take a look at your module and raise the car up to make height and measure on a flat ground from floor to middle of fender well?

Thanks in advance as if the car goes up high enough i am ready to buy - so thanks for the help.

Not a 100% sure but I don't think you can raise the car with the module. Only lower it from factory ride height. In other words if the module is off you get factory height. If its turned "on" it will lower to your settings input by you.

that is what i am asking of those who have it installed - can you raise it up as well as lower it and if so how high?

Samantha is asking Tech People, and they don't have the answer -

I wonder if you could raise the height of the car in STAR and then drive with the lowering module ON if that makes sense.

My suspension is completely stock other than the programa module and it can only be lowered from factory height.

Why not just use the two stock settings to raise the car when needed? Thats what i did when i had my renntech v3 on my car. Any huge driveways, i would raise the car.

My old Lexus LS430 was the champ when it came to this. Could go from slammed like a bagger to high enough to fit a coke can on the wheel, all on the stock air suspension:

The back will absolutely drop 2" if you want it to. The front doesn't seem to drop as far in my opinion. PM me your cell number and when I get my car back tonight or tomorrow, I'll send you pics of stock height and adjusted of front and rear.

Raise it in STAR and install programa but the actual "lowering" would be off though. I have same issue with my driveway so I just park on the street hoping no one rams me in the middle of the night.
