Question for those with Air Suspension
#16
I must be one of the few with a GTS who rarely runs it in "Low" suspension mode, since it's already lower than the "S". My default is the "Sport" mode button for improved response, handling, and exhaust sound. And with the poor road conditions after spring thaw up here in Canada, I am not sure I get more suspension travel in normal height, but I don't want to find out by damaging a plastic underbody panel. Increased height in deep snow winter driving is a real bonus to help me justify the extra cost of a GTS. With four winter tires and the different OEM tire sizes on the GTS front and rear, this is a surprisingly nimble vehicle in winter.

Always low setting. My goodness, this car is so high off the ground I could never imagine touching anything.

Personally, I think the suspension tuning is more resolved and cohesive in standard ride height for normal city roads.
However, Low mode is great for aggressive driving on mountain roads. I find the main benefit is lower CoG rather than body control. I could see using Low mode daily if you live in smooth suburban roads.
Side note: I'm perplexed by how few option air suspension. I find it's transformative for how the car drives and is relatively low-cost.

Hallo all!
taking delivery of my macan in a few days, its an s and got airsuspension.
i want to lower it further.
have i understood correct:
either my p dealer can lower it via piwis? What did they charge those who have done this???
or indipendent dealer could order some software HR ETS for example and lower it, ca 2k euro
or lowering links 300euro which my
Tireshop/alignershop did not recommend, (bumpy ride and weird thing to do to a new car they said)
