Default Lowering Air Suspension
New to the Q7 but certainly not to Audi. Just picked up a 2018 Prestige with air suspension and would like to reduce the gap between the tires and fenders.

Can anyone lead in the best direction, links or can it be done thru programming? If so by how much? Thanks in advance...

bought links from these guys. great quality, really fast shipping (2 days from the UK). the 4M Q7 isn’t listed but send them and email and they’ll reply with a paypal invoice.

How far did you lower from stock? Any noticeable difference in ride quality and what diameter rims are you using. Sorry for all the questions but I appreciate your input.

1.75-2 inches I think I haven’t measured exactly. I’m on 22’s the ride has gotten stiffer but not rough or bumpy.

How did you install these new links (yourself or got a shop to do this)?

I installed a set of links on my S550. It was an easy install with a lift. Unfortunately the link caused one of the rear airbags to fail. May have been too much travel. I did the same on my A8 with no problems.

That drop looks sick! If only we'd have a engine tune to back up the aggressive look on these Q7s.

ABT has an electronic lowering module, but its expensive and only lowers 0.8.
