There was another thread here about the suspension lowering at 100 mph which everyone seemed to think was insane...


It's documented in the Owner's Manual, and it is insane.

Umberto...you are absolutely correct - grazie Bow down

Just saw it in my manual - "réduction de la hauteur à très grande vitesse" - I'd much prefer to see that happen at say 100 kph or 120 kph than 160 kph.

This Matzker mod really interests me...time to visit our hotel in Köln methinks! Wink 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge

Does anybody want me to scan and post the original article in LROI? Quality may not be too great, but I can try. The lowering and raising is done by a 2nd button fitted on the consol, you don't control it by the suspension height button that LR gives you. Pos 1 is superextended and pos 2 is super lowered! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim, that would be great if you could. Of course, it's all academic for me if this company doesn't have a US distributor. Still, I'd like more info about it.

Talked to them today Tim.

The suspension kit is a remapped exchange suspension ECU with extra inputs to set the height.

As I understand it, there's nothing changed on the suspension just a remap of the software.

The ride heights would be available if LR just made the setting variable , rather than fixed height settings.

Italy 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Hi guys, I am opening this topic again since it seems to be the closest one to what I am looking.

Basically, I use my 2006 TDV6 on tarmac, never done off road (sorry about that) and will probably not do it untill I sell it.

My car has standard suspensions, 60.000 kms.

I am unhappy with the riding quality, because of roll and pitch, especially on mountain roads.
Is there a way to get stiffer suspensions?

Can I change my suspensions with something different?
At what price?

The option above mentioned from the German seller seems to be rather dear, in my opinion.

Should you have any info or link to websites/previous topics, please give me a hint.
