Hey guys,

My name is Gabe and I'm coming over the from the B8 section where I have a 2010 avant, but just recently picked up my 2014 S7 with the black optics pack. Within the first 3 days, I've already lowered it as well as adding spacers, however, still playing with height to see where I want it set at. Hoping to learn more about this platform through you guys. Thanks!


This is how she's sitting now, but I'm thinking I may take her down more.

Both very nice! Did you lower the S7 with HRE module or lowering links?

Thanks! I did the lowering links. $125 for parts and shipped overnight from the UK is hard to beat, install was super easy and took about 40 mins.

Both are sharp rigs, nicely done.

I've got the HR Module, note in comfort mode my height looks about where yours is now. However, in dynamic it drops further and while it is great for spirited driving, it can be harsh for daily driving and rougher roads. YMMV.

Congrats and enjoy the new addition.

Thanks guys! I had my lowering links maxed out, so the tech made some adjustments with the arms to lower the car a bit further, and now I have 3 cels go off (suspension leveling, headlight adjustment and something with the auto braking). When driving around town the cels don't go off, but it's only freeway driving or maybe going over a certain speed, that the warning lights come up. Anyone else have this problem?

I had my lowering links maxed out, so the tech made some adjustments with the arms to lower the car a bit further, and now I have 3 cells go off (suspension leveling, headlight adjustment and something with the auto braking tuned off).

i drive with the h&r module at the lowest setting, occasionally i get the warning about suspension level too low and it'll adjust itself. i haven't gotten any of the other ones, i think the h&r module drops it to 30mm max, hope this helps.
