The way I understand it is that whatever amount you lower the car with the HR unit, that is the new baseline so although all modes still work as stock, they are starting from the new baseline. Example: if you lower the car 30mm it will still raise but it will be 30 mm lower than it was without the box in there. All modes will be 30 degrees lower.

Essentially what I think the box is doing, is fooling the car into thinking it is higher than it is, and the car then makes adjustments

Alex at TAG told me that someone had some issues with the KW box interfacing with the S6 and they were doing some testing to see if there was indeed a problem or if it was just this one isolated case. I haven't heard what the result was.

I ordered the HR box, should be here today.

That 30mm looks good. I'm surprised that's 30mm. Someone posted their dealer lowering 17mm and it looks similar to this. Good to know you can go even lower, but I doubt I will. Do you have spacers? I'm waiting for Achtuning to get H&R spacers back in stock and should have them by mid Sept. I think I might have to get this module. With the spacers it will really make a different.

Is my car lower than others, because your 30mm drop only looks marginally lower than mine in stock dynamic mode:

Or maybe it's the shadows playing tricks.

I have 10mm front and 12mm rear spacers. I will take some better pics today to show the lowering. The pics I have seen of the dealer lowering have not been straight on. Granted... 13mm is not really that much, about half an inch... in all reality that is hard to differentiate to me at least in pics taken at varying distances and angles. I will try and find a ruler to show the gap in the photos.

Rob, Your car is beautiful! I think it must be the shadows, because in person the tires are up in the wells just a tad in front and almost even with the fender in the rear. The pics are terrible and I will make sure to get some more in a bit before the sun comes out.

Good to know. I guess H&R might be it after all.

SIde note for anyone getting this for their car.

If you need to reset the device back to the original settings - Turn each adjustment screw counterclockwise 7 times. This effectively takes you back to the starting point.

I also confirmed with H&R today that there is no adjustment to stiffness with this module. The effects I am feeling are the "benefits of a lower center of gravity".

Here are some close ups of the car at 30mm.

Front - That is not a rock chip on my fender.. it's a reflection of something.

That makes sense when it comes to handling but do you notice a difference on a straight road? Such as when you hit a bump?

terminal nonchalance

I do notice a difference, ESPECIALLY in brake dive and acceleration squat which is nearly gone at 40mm. This is still the case at 30mm, but less so.

Honestly I am not sure he really knew for sure... but that is what he told me. He was very helpful though.

One more note - I am basing my lowering figures in Dynamic Stock vs. Dynamic H&R with a measuring tape, not just relying on the screw turns as my Maths... That said it is true to approximately 1mm per 1/2 turn in either direction.

Appreciate the information. I haven't really heard anyone before talk about how the module changes the driving dynamics. So it really it is helpful to hear this and makes me FAR more interested in this.
