Default Suspension VAG-CODES

I have seen over on Audizine that a few people have been able to lower their suspension past the "dynamic" lowered threshold. They have codes but won't share? Please let the group know if you can figure these out. Thanks!

It looks like using lowering links is the way to go. You just fool the car into going lower by using shorter links to the level sensor.

I believe they are doing it solely through the VAG-COM not removing or altering anything physical.

That is correct.

It sounds like there are security codes for adjusting the suspension via VAG COM which are difficult to learn. A few tuners know the codes but aren't talking. At least that's what I've heard over on Audizine.

Ok... just going to bump for posterity's sake.

Maybe we can get a pool going for the person that figures out the security access? i'll chip in $100 for a working solution.

The prices from some tuners to do this is about 1500... which seems pretty ridiculous personally just to lower your car with software by 20mm...

I can't see the justification in charging that much to change the codes. I vag com in my area anything anyone wants for $20. I would probably charge $200 for the suspension change. That being said, I am going to try it on my car first and see if it works.
