Lowering modules and links
I have not found what I really want. Here are the issues...
Lowering links are fine if you want to stay at that height. Modules also only offer one setting and to return to normal you have to yank the plug.
I want a smarter module.
Usually I want to lower the car only when it's parked. I would love to have a button that will let me do that from the cockpit or have a setting so it does that automatically, but with an over ride if I'm parked over a curb or a pile of leaves or in snow or when I'm washing the wheels.
I would also like to be able to program the amount of lowering. Maybe one setting for park, one or two for low-medium speeds and one for really high speeds. Then I would let the 'brain' select the correct setting based on the speed. All of those height settings and engagement speeds need to be driver programmable and have an over ride to shut the thing off. Currently my car lowers automatically at about 80 mph, or so it claims in the literature. There's no notice to the driver that it actually happens.
PS: My Phaeton has the same air suspension and ride controllers as the Bentley GT and Flying Spur. Lowering links and lowering modules are available for it too.

Hey Fred!
I still need to get around to lowering mine again. It didn't work the first time for some reason - it adjusted itself after the car ran for a few minutes. <br><br>A module that you described would be awesome though. Sounds pretty complicated though as far as integration would go. <br>
