Is there a reason why you want to lower the SUV like that? Seems too low to drive.

Tex_X7 · 03-20-2020, 08:35 PM

Looks nice!!!

robbys3m3 · 03-21-2020, 08:08 AM

Thx guys..it is phytonic blue..no spacers.

As for the height...its electronically adjustable and the lowest is load height..it wont allow you to drive at that. With that said, I like lowered cars no matter

Ok those look great!

Got 3 coworkers in your old neighborhood and I'm down the street off 111th.

BzsBimmer · 03-22-2020, 07:44 PM

Can you elaborate on what you mean by lowest level load height and when in sport?

The pictures I take were taken while at load level
When you’re driving in sport, is that how low it is as well? Lost me on that.

Did you install these yourself and what was involved? Link to part?

robbys3m3 · 03-22-2020, 09:36 PM

My friend is a mechanic and installed them for us. RGSport can get you set up for sure. When we drive in sport individual, it's the lowest driving height...2nd lowest on the console display.. When parked, we can go lowest at load level...lowest on console display.

Yeah got that. Was trying to determine if the lowering height in sport lowers it more. Probably hard to tell because you can’t take a picture.
Edit. Is the last picture in sport height?

Does it ride any more bouncier?
Looks good!!

So, with the lowering link, my normal setup is to lower the sport mode from its original sport mode height into the original loading height.

Now, after the lowering link installed. Here are your height will be.

- New Comfort mode = Original Sport Height
- New Sport mode = Original Loading Height
- New Loading mode = New lowest height, I believe 3/4" or 1" lower than Original Loading Height

I do recommend to set the car to default start at any individual, so you can choose just the suspension to go on Sport mode.
The reason being, if you use the link to lower the car to Original Loading Height at Comfort mode, when you go to Sport mode, you will be dragging your tires on the fender, or rubbing it to the fender. Because now, Sport mode is the new loading height, which is lower than stock original loading height.

How hard is it to install these links and is it just the rear suspension (links) that need to be installed and front air suspension will auto adjust?

Also, if you have the sport individual set to drive in the stock loading position what happens when you shut off the car and park it if you have it coded to start in Sport Individual height each time? Will it always be at the lowered (stock loading height) setting all the time?

You'll need to change both front and rear pair.

It will stay at new sport height or old loading height all the time.
But, I believe the car revert to new comfort height or old sport height after locked for long period of time.

I’ve been eyeing this for a while, how has the vehicle and the links held up?

robbys3m3 · 07-05-2022, 07:35 AM
