Default Lowering SQ5 s-sport package with adaptive air suspension

Is there a way to lower the SQ5 to bar one? For handling and freeway cruising?

It is not recommended to drive in Show Mode. With that said you can lower the car essentially the same amount in Dynamic and you will receive a warning from the app to not drive at that level.

The CETE air suspension controller will not alter the adjustable shocks which are on the air suspension cars. When in Dynamic the car firms up the shocks versus when you are in Comfort. That will remain the same.

The nice part about the CETE setup is that you have the full range of the air suspension available and some owners that prefer the ride in Comfort lower that more than they lower Dynamic. That way you have a softer ride that is as low as Dynamic or even lower.

If you have anymore questions on CETE items don't hesitate to post or email: contact@europrice.us

Cheers,

How about using links from different models to lower? I would imagine everything would be too low. Thoughts?

If you drop it past recommended, it messes up all the camber in the suspension. You end up driving on the inner 1/2 of the tires where you lose 1/2 your traction, and they wear unevenly.

You might be able to drop it with links and get it re-aligned. Not sure....
