Evosport Did Great Job on Lowering E55

Evosport installed a Kleeman Lowering module on my car. It was supposed to be ~ 2 hour job which it was to install. However to get the 'right' overall ride height and front to rear rake, they spend several more hours free of charge until we were all happy with it. This is another example of their excellent service. These guys build and race their own cars and take a lot of pride in doing things on customer cars as they would on their own cars.

Also, they are very straight about their dyno runs and resulting performance gains. I saw a lot of runs and there are no tricks. In my experience, they advertise only what they measure and make clear what the assumptions were.

Wicked. My dad's also a mech. engineer by degree and in a few years he'll be my mentor (like he's not already).

Ugh, I don't like this math

No doubt, but where are the pix?

I'll be getting my car soon and I want to get the height just right. Is the Kleeman module switchable, i.e, does your console switch do anything?

I spoke with Evosport and the answer is yes. You will be able to adjust the height through the existing suspension adjustment controls.
