interested in installing lowering links on My A8 and I wanted some input on different ones if anyone has them on their car. thanks

VCDS lowering is better than any links. Lowering up to 25 mm or lifting up to 20 mm is designed by Audi and adjusts shock absorbers dumping rate depending on height.

i agree with Coach but i didn't have that info when I installed my adjustable links, Having said that, I have had no issues and it runs like it's on rails in the Dynamic position.
BTW Mishar, I hope to get started on that gear leaver sometime this winter and will forward the stock leaver back tp you.

I have a pair of Airmatic lowering links, but have not installed since I discovered via the Forum here that VCDS lowering might be preferred. I forget if these are the UK mfg ones or USA. They are a lot smaller than I ever imagined. Instructions say before installing you need to place audi in Jacking mode.

Wish I could provide more "in use" comments but since they are not installed that's about it. According to my Indie shop, once you have the codes to adjust the suspension, it's about a 5 minute job to lower. So I am going that route versus the links. As soon as I find the right codes ugh

Hope this helps

Codes are in VCDS and it takes more than 5 minutes. May be 20. Check my signature.

Mishar, correct. My indie shop corrected themselves as well after they received your ride height adjustment so thanks. At least 20 min if experienced with

I've had the lowering links from the UK guys for several years now. I like the lowered stance look. I used the vcds to lower it a little as well. i recommend the links if for no other reason than for the ability to fine tune the suspension to your liking. Also, you can adjust them back to stock height if you like.
