I wanted to lower my RS E-Tron GT by 10mm, but wanted the option to raise it back to stock at any time.
I decided to go with OBDeleven Pro. I purchase OBDeleven new from eBay for $105.
There was no other feature I found useful other than lowering the suspension, so I didn't need the credits. The Pro is perfect for what I need
Here are the steps:
Put the OBDeleven in the OBD port under the steering wheel closer to the driver side door.
You must be sitting in the car with the door closed. Then turn on the car
Once you open the OBDeleven app, connect to the OBDeleven device, then Scan the system. This take a few minutes
Once completed you can go to into different control units.
Find the Chassis Control then click on it.
First click on Security Access before getting into the Adaptation section where you make your adjustments.
Put the code 20103 onto the Login.
If you don't do this step, you will get an error when making the adjustments.
After the security login, now you can go into the adjustments for the suspension.
You adjust each wheel. Here is the translation
Eingegebener Höhenwert vorn links
Entered height value front left
Eingegebener Höhenwert vorn rechts
Entered height value front right
Eingegebener Höhenwert hinten links
Entered height value rear left
Eingegebener Höhenwert hinten rechts
Entered height value rear right
Each wheel has a different value which you must be adjusted up.
I wanted to lower by 10mm.
To complete you hold down the green check mark on each wheel.
Once completed you go back to the main page and clear the Faults by holding down the ce ter button. This clears all the faults.
Once the faults have been cleared, turn off the car, remove the OBDeleven from the port, close the door.
A minute later you will hear the suspension release air and the car lowers to it's new setting. It doesn't happen immediately.
After a 10mm drop, this is what it looks like in Efficiency mode. No wheel gap
You feel the road a lot more. Compression is very noticeable, but the car is planted, less body roll, way better handling, more compliant.
Its less rough in Comfort mode, but in Efficiency you really hear tland feel the thumps in uneven roads.
It was a no brainer and I'm very pleased with the results. Worst case I can always raise it back to stock
