I emailed the guy and received a response that S6 links were just released and he has not updates the website. Just order the S8 ones and specify that u need ones for S6

A little too low for my tastes. Starting to look GheTTo. I think about a 10mm drop from the lowest factory setting would be about perfect.

Does lowering affect the parking camera calibration?

From the picture in the eBay link, it looks like they can be adjusted to any height.

I just want to better understand…

You can lower an S6 or S7 by simply installing these links? Is it something you can do yourself, or do you need a shop to install it?

What are the other options? The crazy $2k module? and i see some are saying their dealership did it for free? How does the dealership do it? Can it be done through vagcom?

Yes you can lower the S6/7 by installing those links. Depending on how handy you are, it is possible to install them your self.

If you have enough mechanical knowledge and some hand tools, you could possibly make them your self. They are selling shorter, adjustable links. The danger is that you don't know how much that they can be shortened and not cause damage. You don't want to wreak a air bag or bounce off a suspension bump stop.

Yes you could buy the module or have the dealership lower it through vag-com.

You can lower an S6 through Vag-Com? Well hell, I don't need to talk to my dealer then. Just call up a guy I know with a Vag-Com. Are you sure about that?

Others have posted that some dealers will lower and some won't. I don't know how much a dealer can or will lower it.

My question was not about the dealers willingness to do it. The question is: How is it done?

From other threads my impression was that it had to be done by one of Audi's computers, in one of their service depts. Not Vag-Com.
