Lowering Question

I am thinking of lowering my car .5" or so with the module. Does anyone who has similar height have any insights as to if I will need to do alignment/camber adjustments?

if you want to lower your car half inch ( ~1.25cm) you can do it through Sport+ mode, that will lower car by 1cm. no module is needed. If you are already on Sport+ and need further lowering for 0.25cm to get your desired 0.5inch (1.25cm) you may consider to book for alignment.

Why do you need to lower it? Are you so short you can't climb on board?

There is another thread you might search for with quite a bit of dialog. Title is something like "I need to lower my ..."

I'll leave the want versus need discussion to others.

Or... you could have just posted a helpful suggestion instead of using your energy to be an a$$hole to someone who is new on the board.

Just trying to be part of the community...

I just lowered it with the lowering module about an inch. You can have a custom setting that is anything you want. I love the way it makes the car look. I can take a better one tomorrow in the day.

put a standard order in for new tyres the difference between a module and sport + is you can lower the car without it being rock hard with a module

Really? I lowered mine 20mm and it isn't rock hard or even close. Did I do something wrong?
