    Fng!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just got my allocation for an 09 S5 and I ordered it in phantom black with red interior. I also opted for the active suspension option. Does anyone know if that suspension will interfere with coil overs or if it is adjustable for ride height? I will have to delete it of it's not cause my car will look like a 4WD with the wheels I want. Anyway, I like the forum so far and it looks like there are some sick rides out there!

    I don't know for 100% but if you are planning to do c/o's then you don't want Audi Ride Select. My understanding is that c/o's will completely replace ARS because there is no way the ARS electronics will communicate with the c/o's.

    You can not have ARS with C/O suspension. My S5 I just ordered I also got with ARS... should be a great system!

    Will I be able to adjust the ride height at all?

    Lowering springs only, I believe.

    is this ARS system a liquid system, I am saying it uses a gel type liquid to adjust?

    Lowering springs my be possible, definitely not covered under warranty should you damage the ADS system. My understanding is that it is going to be an electro-magnetic system.

    It does a lot more than just dampening... that is why I think it is worth every penny.

    Alas, I had to remove the select drive from my order. I would rather tune it the old fashioned way with coilovers and the like. Maybe down the road. Thanks for all of your advice :)
