+1. I went ahead lowered mine as well about a week ago. I dropped the car 15mm thinking that I wanted to go as low as I could without messing with any of the cars cameras, sensors, radars, etc. The car looks amazing. I will say the only side effect I've found so far, as no one has really mentioned some of the "issues" you can run into when you lower the vehicle. With the 15 mm's lower I've had the acoustic parking sensors pick up objects more sensitively. Sometimes a raised asphalt area, or a parking tire stop, etc. will set off the sensor more randomly without warning. Aside from that I have not noticed any other issues so far.

Was wondering if anyone has done this with a C6 generation, I cannot seem to get the security code to work

anyone know if this can be done using OBD Eleven dongle?

Not to open up an old thread, but I just did this with my OBD11 and it went through without error. Instructions aren't a direct map to OBD11 but its pretty close. I edited to +12mm but I'm not sure if I can tell a difference or if it did anything at all, I should have probably measured beforehand. After I entered the numbers, recalibrated, and reset leveling it didn't error but nothing happened (It didn't lower itself) - I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen. I don't drive in Auto, but I edited the numbers in Auto like it said. I put it in Comfort and Dynamic and the car raised/lowered as normal. My before/after pictures don't really show much of a discernible difference... but I could just not be noticing.

Had minor issues but they were only caused by me missing steps.
Have found that I cant input 415 or anything higher as it returns "request Sequence error" not sure what's going on there. So have set 412 all around.

Mine was the same I read once 414 is the maximum for the S6, but I also though others maybe have not had that issue. I went with 410.7 as my highest one (just in case). 10mm lower than stock.
Did you just set them all to 412 or did you just add +10 or +12 to the existing values? If the former is it level all around?

Which VCDS is the best one at a reasonable price to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Byron Morrison

The standard values were all different. I know you're meant to add values to the existing ones but i decided to just go 412 all round and its sitting pretty dam even.

I got mine from here https://www.totalcardiagnostics.com/ and it works fine. changed the ride height and can check diagnostics and clear false errors. note the max value it seems to accept for ride height is 414, although mine is sitting at 412 and it looks great.
