I hope it includes Duct Tape!

Perhaps - actually it involves that for now. Some other electronic things later. I am not really looking to mass produce anything at the moment. More for my own curiosity than anything else. I am not looking to try to create a new module. Although I think that certain companies are a big rip off with the cost. H&R is probably inside most of those components anyways. They have made a module for a while now.

You did this to your own I assume? Do you have a photo of the vehicle or do you know the amount of space this put the vehicle at now? Are you telling us that the light in the dash (inflate spare) is the only side-effect you see?

Keep the info coming....

The Suv is as low as any loading level on any Air Suspension Cayenne. The warming light is a "!" and on 08's and newer it will display(dash display) the vehicle height display of the SUV. Thats pretty much it for the moment.

I will take pictures later on if I remember.

Pictures at loading level with the lowering links tweaked a little to achieve about 12mm lower than loading level. Any lower and i would be afraid that the tires on a large dip would hit the fender liner. I can just put a hand(palm down) in between the fender and tires.

The ride is much nicer and not harsh with the lowering links like before. Mostly due to the fact that I didn't adjust them that much this time to get the ride height. It looks great with no wheel gap but it rides harsh and its not safe for large dips in the road since it would most likely hit the liner/fenders. I have a set of 7mm and 14mm spacers I will see what it would like with the spacers. They were laying around for my Turbo and they don't need them at the moment. So lets experiment. I hope I have some longer bolts laying around. Sorry for crappy pics. It was late.

Great photos...... so what we're looking at here is the brown wire deal AND some link mods? Just trying to understand what I'm seeing...

Cayenne looks great by the way.

Nothing to tell Still working out kinks.

I will take some better shots in the AM. It is lower again. Measured from the bottom of the rim to the edge of fender it is 28" for the front and 28.5" for the rears. It is low let me tell you. A little bouncier then at 28.5" fronts and 29.25" rears. I am keepin the rake on the car with the front lower than rears.

Thanks Fastforward for the compliments.

I tried a few wire configurations today and they didn't work. I will try to make time to take it apart over the next couple of months.

I hope you get it resolved. In all honesty - should you be the one calling him or he should have already called you or corresponded by now.

I don't care if he fixed the issue(he can't without electronics) he won't get my business.
