What's the cost of lowering a RRS and is it recommended???

Would love to hear from people that have had it done and what there views are

I think it can be done with the aid of a laptop and the correct software, I'm sure one of the guru's on here will be along to offer some advice  MY2007 RRS TDV8 Black - tinted glass - side steps- stormer grille - 20" diamond cut alloys - alpaca leather - TV/DVD pack - some blingy chrome bits & bob's

Link rods £80 of eBay

Britpart - EAS lowering tool - no mechanics involved can be reset in minutes  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Thanks for the comments


Britpart do a few IID tools - some are more expensive than others & it depends on what your looking to achieve.The EAS only tool is about £180 - £200 & the more specialist tools can be a hundred or so £ more. The reason I used the tool instead of the links is because its plug & play & reversible within minutes.
The AB kit I fitted is Genuine OEM - most of the parts purchased from Duckworth`s - It will be a simple job to do on your Sport - mines a 2005 so a lot more bits was needed. If you have the cash & are not hands on then I would suggest using a company that will do the lot in one hit -purchase the parts - fitting & painting. If not then as TLL suggested you can save money by waiting & sourcing the parts yourself over a period of time.
Whatever you decide good luck. Just shout up if you need any help  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

is the IID tool easy to use myself? yeah i keep hearing about duckworth's just thinking i might be slightly priced out by them at the moment and kinda only wanted to spend 2k-2.5k on body kit........................buying the car has left a huge hole in my pocket cheers for all the advise fella!!

I just use LLAMs - I can select -20 to +50mm below or above any height selected at the simple selection of a switch.

I normally drive around at 20mm below onroad height with no issues.

does the ride feal alot firmer?? was hoping to lower about 40-50mm but don't want a really firm ride

Lowered mine circa 25mm, (one inch for old timers) next day put it back to standard, ride does suffer when lowered.  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

I guess, unlike a lot on here, you lowered it not for the looks SRE, but for the ability to get in a little easier at your age  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Agree with SRE anything more than 25 affects the ride height on my RRS - it bounces along  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

I dropped an RRS once.

Wanted it as low as possible, regardless of what advice was given about ride quality etc.
Eventually managed to get it to sit just below access height, when the car was in normal mode.

It lasted 45 minutes before he came back
