S8 - Lowering - Advice Please....
Forum.....Been debating on lowering the S8 since they day I got her back in May.....
The two most cost effective choices I have is either buying lowering links OR playing with level control in VCDS. The question is what is a safe lowering value in terms of 'mm' that i should go with, taking into account I have Sports suspension and the fact that if i do 120KMPH the car lowers itself by another 20mm. To ask the same question another way - can I lower her by 20mm and still be safe when i am in Dynamic mode and she decides to lower again by another 20mm (40mm in total) Advice please?  Nik

It seems my forum folks steered away from sharing advice
 - so i bit the bullet and lowered the girl by 15mm all round.....She now sits pretty and yes took her for her drive at at constant 70 and waited till she dropped another 20mm - phew i was scared but now all happy :-)
