Suspension Gizmo
I remember a while back seeing a suspension gizmo that would lower or alter the ride hight.
Anyone had any experience?
Know where to buy one,
Thoughts please.
Most of my milage is motorway and A roads so it sounds like a good idea.
Any information would be very welcome.Disco 4 XS 2010 Auto.

it can be done with IIDTOOL in about 2 miniutes up to 18 mm with no issues
I have been running lowered and I am liking it a lot

That sounds interesting... How would you go about lowering the vehicle with the IID tool? I know you can calibrate it.. I've often thought that for the vast percentage of the time I drive on tarmac that being a little lower may improve the handling? Of course when going through the tough stuff you'd need to rely on off road mode more to save changing all the settings again.

if remember correct it is in main menu / height and you set it up there. On D3/4 change is permanent and applies difference to all modes so your access / normal and off-road will be different. Off course having IIDTool and going for off-road trip you can create another profile with settings say 20mm higher giving you more clearance.
And yes cornering is better and I have noticed it is much more confident to drive the tank especially when overtaking lorries with high side winds. Does not "move" the car in so dramatic way.
have fun

Read LLAMS onAulro Australia website for height mod that gives additional + 50mm or 50mm reduction on the move

requires too much installs and mods and only takes 2 min with iidtool so brainer
and iidtool allows to accomplish other things as well at even lower cost
