Can you Lower the ride height on air suspension

Hi

If X5Sport doesn't know it may also be worth sending a pm to Jason at BW chiptune as I know he can do a lot of coding on the cars.

It's also possible to get adjustable links to alter height
H&R do the links, easily fitted and adjusted

I read about the links but not sure how that works will take a look under the rear end to see how the set up
Works
I'm not sure if I've asked the question on here before I know it may change the cars handling but I don't push it anyway and would much rather have the caravan towing sorted

Thanks for the info

You can use like are adjust in the software just have to watch out as these will lower them selfs further at motor way speeds
