Does anyone have any experience with the Air Suspension in the A8 vs S8 D4? I'm trying to find out more about the H&R lowering module vs. the stock module in the A8 vs the stock module in the S8.

The S8 is lower and has more sporty handling, but is this just in the electronics or are the Air Springs and Struts different in the S8?

Has anyone had any physical experience with the H&R lowering module in an Audi or Porsche or any other car for that matter. Apparently H&R makes modules for all the car brands which have air suspensions, SUV's VW, Range Rover, Porsche, Audi, etc....

Thank you,

Mike

When i had my 2005 A8L i installed lowering links instead of playing with the computer. I never had any issues whatsoever and i got compliments all the time for it. It made the car look so much better when driving/parked and it only cost me around $500 for the links and about 60 seconds on my lift to install them. I had a friend of mine buy them way after mine and when he got them they werent the pop in ones that i used instead they were a screw on type, PITA but still easy to install overall. you should see if they have them available for the d4 body.

You take those and replace the stock part pictured here:
