Kinda new.

Thanks!

Upgrading my audio system and the weight is gonna sag the vehicle.

So I want a system that will ride at stock ride height (maybe a inch higher) throughout whichever load you throw at it. Ie. Extra passengers in the vehicle/plus the sound system (which adds to around 300lbs).

So with all passengers in the vehicle and the sound system, I want the ride to remain OEM height or a inch higher.

PS: The vehicle has adaptive air suspension. So the installation of a aftermarket air suspension would be easier?

Let me know.

Thanks!
The only kit I have seen is from HP Drivetech, It is about 3K Euro without air management. If you get ride height monitoring vs pressure ride height the vehicle won't sag when you add people because it adjust for weight and retains the set ride height.

Gonna try the aforementioned suggestion above first with the device thing and see how it works out.

If it doesn't then... :P

I thought the car would lower at speeds above 20mph?

I think the S8 may automatically drop back from the Raise setting at a lower speed than others.
