Audi runs all of the harness/lines offset from the rockers. Plenty of room but requires a lot of interior disassembly.

well, I know/understand that. But for the average DIYer, who the hell is gonna remove the entire interior to run a few wires, etc..
as you quoted, though,. I stated 'along the rocker'..

Fair enough but not everybody would know or understand that. Now if they come across this they can decide if they are the average DIY'er or destined for greatness.

How long have you had your car for and have you had to do any major repairs to the engine or trans in that mileage? I bought my 2015 with 108k on it already, but plan on keeping it for quite a while. Good to see some higher mileage Q7's out there.

I've been fine-tuning my air ride conversion, chasing little leaks, etc..
Was gonna buy some rear control arm links from eurowise for the rear camber adjustment, but for $800, I might just buy 6 sets of end links, some DOM tubing, and make my own for about 1/2 the cost.
My only concern is that weird conical recess spacer that I'd have to source (make) to fit the one bolt on each side.
We'll see how it goes..
If someone knows eurowise personally, I'd be appreciative on getting some of those conical spacers...
