Default Anyone lowered their e-tron with MTM lowering links?

Wondering if anyone has used MTM lowering links, or another brand, to lower their e-tron? I had a local shop use the Factory Scan Tool to lower my '21 lease, but that car is now returned and I am looking to now get my '22 e-tron S down about an inch (I say about an inch because my ride height in all 4 corners is different, and was on my '21 too. Go out and measure yours, I betcha it's uneven too.). That shop is now closed and the closest shop that does that is now too far (Pacific German in SoCal), so my new local shop suggested lowering links. They state dealers can see if the FST has tweaked the software, so this way the stock links can be swapped back in about 30 minutes when going in to the dealer for service.

A search didn't reveal that anyone has posted they have used MTM lowering links on their e-tron.

I lowered mine (Siam Beige) with 034 Motorsport Lowering links. It's been over a year, no issues to report.

I did not, so just gave them a call and left a msg. Thanks for pointing me to them - their shop looks great!

@bwoy1981 Great to hear! O34 doesn't have lowering links for the S, or perhaps they are just out of stock, so MTM is my only option.
How much did you drop it? It looks great.

I would contact them since they use these same ones on all these models (Even RS)
**Lowering your Audi B9/B9.5 SQ5, C8 A6/S6/RS6, C8 A7/S7/RS7, 4M/4M.5 Q7/SQ7, 4M8 Q8/SQ8/RSQ8, or E-Tron SUV with factory air suspension**

Mine is lowered 17mm Front & 15mm Rear if I recall correctly.

Lowering an all wheel drive vehicle - certainly a geographic thing. Here in the Midwest we seasonally use the All Road setting to raise the vehicle to avoid snow depth.

It definitely is! Here in Central Florida, most roads are smooth.

This is my 5th Audi, all have been lowered and modified. My 911 would probably make some here nervous because of the ride height because they couldn't use it where they live, but no issues in my 7 years of owning that car.
