Default Lowering the 2013 C7 Allroad?

Has anyone attempted this, I'm looking into the possibility of lowering it, I recently bought 20" wheels and would prefer it to ride a little lower. Looking for some possible options for doing this. Lowering Links appears to be the cheapest method, but I'm not sure what the implications are of using links with an adjustable suspension? Coilovers are probably the best option, but any info advice most welcome.

We don’t get the Allroad in the USA but doesn’t the Allroad ride higher than the Avant to give better ground clearance?

Yeah but it's got the adaptive air suspension. There's a few pics online of lowered C7 Allroads, but I can't seem to find any information on lowering them.

So a lowered Allroad is called an Avant?

I haven't seen any posts online of people doing it themselves, I'm guessing there might be some European forums that have a story or two. I think the allroad is more popular on the continent.

Like you say It seems to boil down to two options, links to trick the suspension or messing with VDCS settings to calibrate it to sit naturally lower - Both these options bring your max height down I assume.

This company is selling a control unit that takes over the air settings by the looks of it (£1k btw);

I would guess that since they are selling it they think that the stock air suspension is okay to run lower..
