We are currently looking at the software commands to isolate the air suspension control. Chips with everything

its easy enough to drop it by 150mm but that would be twice as stupid as 75mm. Little benefit to touching it unless you are going to make further mods, spent days road testing suspension heights. These autologic boxes can get the uninitiated into trouble - I'd stick with the chipping TC.

can you fill us in more on your findings ie why a lower centre of gravity etc is of no benifit why is 75mm stupid etc some of us may like to know or is it just personal choice it could be an interesting thread thanks graham

Good one. Lowering at an earlier mph is certainly a good idea.
However, what do you think of lowering of 75mm at 50 mph? Your thoughts will benefit some of us.

noddy, when are you going to answer this?????
Or maybe you have no ideas  Malaysia Boleh!

well it got an anwser didnt it i wasnt the one who 20 odd days ago said it was STUPID and then just kept quiet i did post and bring the subject up to refresh it i havent claimed to know anything about lowering suspention if your going to shoot someone down in flames like you have tried to do to TC then the best you can do is back your typing up a bit quicker mabe some people might just be driving down a motorway at 70 - 80 mph and not throwing it into hard corners fully loaded they might just like it the same as they like tinted windows clear repeters supercharged grill etc if someone offers a service and someone buys it thats buisness

We have used different wheel tyre and suspension settings within reasonably controlled environments, using competent drivers capable of constant lap times. On stsndard 20" rims and tyres lowering the suspension by 75mm created little to no advantage over a std setup or indeed -25mm, however when the car was loaded with four people we experienced fouling on hard corners on the rear wheel arch - I am sure you would agree this is the time to stop! The fastest setup was -50mm and 22" rims the vehicle was then extremely competetnt at all loadings. We have developed damper kits for the RR and may have a look at this for the RRS but the car is very well set up for what it is and the ability of the driver normally fails it before a few mm here and there. Want it to look good on the drive leave it in access mode. THe 100mph thing maybe what because of fouling not many people are fully loading the suspension on bends at 100mph so the benefit of a little more areodynamic stability makes some sense. I wonder if a fully loaded standard car thrown round a bend at more than 100 might also foul, I'll give it go![/quote] right my frustrtion is when people totaly rebuff an idea publicly (i.e this forum)then dont seem to want to backup their typing as for having the time to post i will not post a reply on a thread like you have knowing full well it will provoke an interest if i didnt have the time to reply to any questions it generated as for PMing you say it on the forum for everyone to see and decide for theirselves as to the lowering you are stating lap times etc what has lap times got to do with a car lets say it lowers after driving at 70 mph constant for 1 minute for instance a trip down the M4 from what i recall of my many trips down the said motorway there are no hard bends to "throw" it into many people just drive "normal"it sound like you have been thrashing one around a track not driving normaly on normal roads i suspect most people dont car about lap times maybe you would like to enlighten some of us on exactly what it is you do i notice you keep you occupation blank therre are lots of so called experts on here but it seems JE and TC are the only ones who are open about who they are and try to help people out instead of having a "dig" at people and then complaining when people do it back

ALL input in this forum is valid in my view.

It is your choice whether you accept what you read or not, surely.

It sounds to me that there are many great members here that have "advanced knowledge and understanding or significant experience" which should always be respected over conceptualised theoretical opinions IMHO. It's finally gone! Replaced with BMW 730SE in Sophisto grey Xirallic finish with Oyster (Ivory) and black interior. DAB, Climate glass, Ceramic iDrive and gear selector, power boot and iPhone Bluetooth pack - luvvin' it!

I miss my old RRS "bucket" rattling around but it just had to go!

Nicely put Peter. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

I would also like my RRS to drop at a more common speed of 50mph ish as I am unlikely to top the 100mph very often in the RRS

We are now working on a suspension mod to lower the air suspension at speeds over 50 mph.

It will lower the suspension by approximately 75mm and is carried out by the OBD.

LRtuning - This is a thread you opened in July 2005...and while I think that 75mm is a bit much, it is clearly a sought after option.

What is your status on this?
