A dealer can lower it with their Audi computer by adding to the heights already programmed in each corner up to 17mm.

It has been done through Vag-com. There are a very few number of people with the security codes and they do not care to share it. Therefore not just anyone with VCDS can do it.

It has to be done by the computer in the service dept. Many dealerships will not do this(including mine) because of repercussions of it being lowered out of factory spec. Others have had much luck with theirs being willing to do it. YMMV obviously.

HyperS4 - Thank you for confirming my thoughts about this.
It looks like I may order up those links and install them after the 5,000 mile service on my S6.

Yup, I think Im going to do the links as well. This way it wont trigger any issues while the car is at service either.

This is not true. Its not possible to do with VagCom. You want the code: 20103. There, now dont go blaming me if you mess anything up.

Just my 2 cents. I previously had a Porsche Cayenne S with air suspension. I debated both links and dealer software drop. Many guys on the 6speedonline forum bought the links to drop the suspension. After installing them many take them off and claim a harsh ride. I opted for the dealer setting the parameters of the drop. Another issue is warranty. I was warned to not let my dealer see the links if I went in for warranty service. Any suspension issues and they would quickly blame it on the links. Just a head's up, links have been around for a while and many people claim you get what you pay for. Again, I've never used them, but I did consider them. I'm just playing a devil's advocate here for the purpose of education.

I was considering lowering mine but I think it is low enough for me in the Dynamic setting. I have a rain gutter outside of my garage that I have to slow way down to clear so any lower and I will scrape every time. I also don't want to take a hit on ride quality.

Tagmotor sports has said they have done it through Vagcom. There are also some other individuals who said they had it done through Vag. You can call them liars if you want. Here is Tag's claim.

and to malibucane, u could always hit the auto or raise button when u get home to raise the vehicle up and give you a little more clearance, if that's the only reason that's stopping you from lowering.
