Default Springs vs. Level Control Modules?

What are the thoughts on these options to reduce ride height and improve handling? I want to retain the ability to raise/lower the car through the MMI, has anyone tried any of the control modules vs a springs only option? Thanks.

I'm looking into the same question.
H&R has a module to do just that. $1999.

( I got an email offer of $1549 with shipping on Black Friday)
I'd like to see more user input on said device.

Apparently similar electronics are used in Range Rover's, Q7's, Cayenne's.

I think you can Vag-com it also. I found the control module and read current settings.

Predominately appearance, secondarily handling. Obviously this isn't a sports car and I'm not trying to make it one.

Is the H&R Module for the S6 or just the A6? I'd love to try the VAG mod, but am a bit nervous, anyone have any experience using this on the current gen A6 or A7?

I'll wait for someone else to try LOL.

The H&R people claim a noticeable improvement in handling...but they would I guess.

I have the VAG cable as well. Which module are you referring to? I would like to see if it is possible.
