Has anyone installed the CETE lowering module in their RS6 yet?

Keep the pics coming!

Everyone's RS's looking on point

Installed set to -25mm. The guy said he would do 30-35 but not till the snow is gone.

Was a pleasure doing the install on your car, enjoy it. Here is another picture from inside the shop.

Maybe @Ven2323 can confirm what he is running for spacers. The most popular I've been selling is 10mm front and 15mm rear.

Cheers,

No spacers yet. I took delivery a week ago, just working thru upgrades now. The pic is right after install and testing show mode. I followed others on here, I normally run lowered heights of 30mm Rear, 35mm Front... fitment looks great at that height, and rides good. JMO.

So, I think this was already covered in here, but couldn't find it - rolling up to your dealer slammed in show mode not withstanding...how obvious is this install?

1 to 10.

1 = wires and everything are totally obvious as soon as you look under the car
10 = it's nearly impossible to find


I've gotten the sense it's something like a 6 - most of the wires are hidden under panels, etc. but there are units plugged into the suspension components, so a keen eye would notice them when under the car. Is that about accurate?

With the car set back to factory heights and not looking obviously modified (wheels, stickers, etc) I don't think a tech doing anything where the car stays on the ground would notice, a 1.

Car up in the air with the undertray panels staying on, wheel or two being removed with a tech that is paying attention, maybe a 4 as they might notice the added plugs at the level sensors.

Car up in the air with the undertray panels being removed front and/or rear it starts to get more obvious since there are two modules and two harnesses, wiring, zipties, etc. This level of work though shouldn't be happening very often, well hopefully.

The only real time to properly remove the system would be if a car had an air suspension issue while under warranty. A dealership may have issue with AoA in getting work done under warranty if the dealership notes down a modification like this.

In summation, hottest selling item carried for the RS6/7 at the moment, and has been for many other models previously but in 6 years of selling/distributing these I have not heard many stories about it causing warranty issues at all. There is always the chance, but there is a chance with any modification that a persnickety dealership could cause an owner a headache.

Show mode -50mm. Surprised it took more than 30 seconds to even start moving.

Little more than a finger breath between the wheel and fender.

Looks aggressive!

Got my unit from MTM, install was very easy, then the car stalled out 3 days later and wont start back up. its at the dealer now. I told them it has the CETE air controller, he shrugged and said that's not going to do anything. I actually disconnected the two wires that get added before it got towed to dealer-waiting to hear from them on the issue...

The controller was pretty awesome-the Bluetooth connects quickly-but it takes a while(in my opinion) for it to start airing up or down...But I am also used to airlift air ride systems which is instant repsonse...definitely a must do mod though!
Waiting on my ABT wheel which are taking forever because germany is shut down somewhat due to the pandemic...

Here is a few pics of my CETE module installed. Shoutout to Nemesis Autosport for coordinating the group-buy and MTM USA for the install.

What kind of wheels are those and what size? Love it. Best looking wheels I've seen so far!

Thank you :)

Ordered. Pics incoming. Can't wait.

[RS7C8-UA]

Note sure if the customer is a forum user here, but he's happy so far. This is show mode at -55mm:





A ton of these CETE setups have shipped to RS6 C8 owners in the past 2-3 weeks or so. Can't keep enough inventory in North America at the moment to get everyone supplied...

Cheers!

what are those wheels?

Oh that is looking sharp. Nice to see an RS7 posted up, though I don't mind all those RS6's either

[TAGMotorsports]

Both of our RS6 Avants on the CETE lowering module. Roughly our 8th car overall on the CETE lowering module. A popular seller for us.

Here are a few that we have done very recently with amazing results!

[Treeskier]

anyone measure the fender-to-ground height when CETE is at -25? I'm curious of the distance...

[RS6wagon]

when I put the car into RS mode, it changes the height..I dont see a setting for RS mode...any help?

[jmy_oak]

The CETE module adjusts based on the 3 drive modes: comfort, auto, dynamic.

You should use the CETE app to set ride height in each of those modes.

RS mode puts the car (by default) in dynamic. If you park car in dynamic it will revert to auto or comfort. The work around is to set dynamic and auto at the lowered height and keep comfort stock height.

I have no idea if this answered your question but it’s the most common one here lately.

I’ve measured that the number indicated equates to same value in mm. So at -25, I measured a -25mm drop.

[Jimminez]

The CETE links to suspension mode where Comfort drive mode has ‘comfort’ suspension, Auto drive mode has ‘balanced’ suspension and Dynamic has ‘sport’ mode. If you’ve programmed the drive modes, the suspension modes associated will provide that level of drop in the Individual suspension settings in the RS modes.

[AudiOMS]

Which mode are you guys setting your alignment in?
Anyone had any issues at all?

We tend to set ours in whichever mode the client will drive in most.

What are the alignment specs after lowering but before re-alignment?

The install and alignment may be happening at different locations and I am trying to gauge how "ok" it is to drive a few miles.

Oh, any sneak peak at what they are developing?

Exhaust should be out shortly they said.
And I believe an intake is in the works as well.

No peeks, but I got a T-shirt.

At least you got a shirt.

Should be a great combo. The exhaust and intake. Can’t comment on you and the shirt.

The AWE S-Flo I had on my S6 fell apart in so many ways. Had misaligned holes drilled, the fixed male pegs that went into the rubber female parts on the car all broke off, the screen on the top that allowed increased air flow broke off, the carbon fiber yellowed badly... I'd hesitate hard before buying another expensive intake from them.

Loved their exhaust on my S4 though!
