Irfan a8 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 thanks roberto, im sure i will have fun doing this, i notice that you have had ur car lowered using vag-com, is this a simple thing done using vag com software on a laptop and simply changing settings? how much does this cost? i have a set of 20 inch cantona wheels on at the moment and my last a8 sport seemed to stiffen up more when put into dynamic mode this one wallows a little more thinking that having the settings adjusted on suspension will stiffen it up. thanks in advance for ur advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizbit Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi Irfan, I had my A8 lowered by Shark Performance after seeing how nice Robertos looked after it was lowered (he also took it to Shark performance). Shark Performance is run by Ben and he is a regular on here (Shark_90), but you can also visit his website here - Shark Performance - Volkswagen Audi Seat Skoda Mercedes BMW Ford Renault Tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizbit Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 He charged me £60 and it took about 2 hrs in total, as you have to re-calibrate it a couple of times. Yes all of the air suspension modes still work as before, it just sits 20mm lower by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irfan a8 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Thanks Wizbit, i will get mine lowered by shark also.. can you tell me does it improve and stiffen the handling too or is it just visually better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizbit Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I upgraded my alloys from 18" to 20" at about the same time, so I don't know how much of the now stiffer ride is due to the wheels and/or whether the suspension lowering had any effect.
