Hi folks

I have the button which lowers the car, keeps it at driving level and raises it to off road height for extra clearance.

I like the idea of keeping it lowered. The car automatically raises to the middle setting when I reach a speed of 30mph. I lower it all the time as it looks meaner and a bit more sporty but I've been told if I continue to lower and raise as much as I'm doing then the airbags will start to cause me problems.

Is there anyway the car can stay lowered? Or is it not good for the driving etc. Please if you can help I would be very grateful.

You can buy a plug in module that keeps it at s set height, not sure think Awd mans got one fitted.

I'm selling one if you want one. Gap diagnostic. Plug in and play! Lowers by anything upto 30mm

As above

GAP EASControl (you tube videos if you search EAScontrol)

Anything more than 25mm will greatly effect the ride quality, mine's been on -22mm for 12 months now and it's great, you do however lose the access height selection with anything more than 17mm? (Hits the bump stops and goes into extended height) RRS gone

When it's plugged in you manually select hight by mm.
As long as you haven't lowered it by more than 18mm you can still use access mode. Obviously however low it's set you can always use off road mode. If you want to set it to original settings you have to plug it in and change by mm again. What it does is basically hack into the system and reset the calibration so the vehicle thinks whatever you've lowered it by is the standard height if that makes sense.

Ok I get you! Sounds easy. Is there any negatives with it? Or faults that may occur by doing this?

And how much are you looking for?

Thank

Lowermyairride is the best i had it and works great but as awdman says you loose the acces height but it worth for it and very cheap KML4EVER

Just don't forget to get your wheels re-aligned or you'll be scrubbing off a new set of tyres in next to no time. Bodsys Brake Bible

In addition, the EASControl unit takes a backup of the vehicles standard ride height settings prior to any adjustment by you.

So you can return to standard at any time

Wheel alignment def advised, my rear toyos were showing wear on the inside after 8k's worth of lowered ride height RRS gone

I had the adjustable links from lowermyairride it did what it was supposed to do. I set it to the lowest and OMG what a stupidly hard ride. It looked fab, but was totally undriveable even a leaf in the road had you quaking. I got rid of them in the end as it messes about with the ride height settings too much and was a PITA.

Recently bought the IIDTool and lowered my FFRR. No faults, car looks a lot nicer now, especially with the 22" wheels.

Haven't noticed a difference in the ride to be honest.

I would go for the IIDTool over anything else, very useful, you can turn on some features in the back end, read faults, mess around with the suspension. I think I paid 275. Good to have.
