Default Alignment needed

Do you need an alignment after lowering your car with ODIS or CETE? Which is a better route to go in general, ODIS or CETE?

When lowering a car the amount that the car is lowered makes the difference between needing an alignment or not. My rule of thumb is over an ~30mm in the lowest setting and driving in that mode most of the time an alignment is advised for tire wear/longevity. Otherwise with milder lowering it's not as important.

With ODIS lowering every drive select mode will be lowered the same amount. With the CETE setup you can select an amount of lowering individually for each main drive select mode. This means you have the full range of the air suspension at your disposal along with the ability to lower some drive select modes more than others and the CETE setup will remember your settings without needing your phone on you or in the car. It's definitely more versatile plus you can change the lowering amount with a few clicks if you want to change it versus having to redo the whole ODIS process to change the amount you have the car lowered. More information available here:

If you have any questions on this or any CETE product don't hesitate to let me know here or via email: contact@europrice.us

Cheers,
