I almost never park it low, put a full suspension mountain bike in the trunk weekly, I take mine to racetracks, and I don't pick up DQ chicks.

I like your ingenuity. Especially on such a new car.
There is some software updates for the V2 that make it speedier. I think a Bluetooth module is coming soon, which should make for some parking lot antics.
The new control system is really going to be incredible.

I hear the E8X/E9X kit should be available mid June.

Haters (of which I was one)....Air suspension is just more of an experience...
For instance:
I raise up for for car washes...better than scraping....
I raise up in parking structures or lead in to gas stations.
I raise the rear when I put 4 race tires, tools, jack, and 10gal of race gas in the trunk...
I drop it down on the freeway to get better gas mileage....
Raise it up when there's two feet of snow on the road...
You almost have to experience it to believe it. I adj. WAY more than I thought I would.

You have any more pics of your car, especially of your air tank?

Neat review. I'd be convinced if you took an S4 with coils and that S4 (same tires, same brakes, same driver) to a track and compared times. I understand that ride quality is comparable (bags v. coils) but I'd want to see some numbers to compare how each suspension manages the car.

Curious, I assume (hope) that the 'slammed' settings on these cars are locked out while the car is in motion or in anything but 'P'? Would really suck to have some button-happy passenger push the lowest setting and the car slams while in motion.

Haha, where I live, Police would first shoot the car, then they driver, with this mod.
Or the other way around, doesn't matter.

I wonder, who reliable such a mod is? Imagine car is lowering unexpected while driving on high speed.

Looks good when cruising around town in low position, with a nice set of shiny wheels.
