That what they told me. So it’s a little comer in sport now. But with racechip it is alittle more aggressive

Also they gave me a software update for hard down shifts in sport mode.

I definetely feel it in city driving while in sport mode. I'll have to ask about this.

Wait, did the make the downshift more harsh or less harsh...mine is a 12/17 build and would prefer more aggressive (more harsh) downshifts than currently occur...

If there is an update that will make downshifts more aggressive i am all in

Man, went for my first night drive after lowering her and the headlights were aimed so low it was down right dangerous.

Does anybody actually have the beam height at what distance of a stocker? (AWD GT2)

I see you guys were doing +10 +12inches from lowered height tape, at what distance?

 

[Fl stingergt]

Put tape on wall at night move nut on back of light until you are 10 inch above start. That’s what I did back to perfect like it was stock again

 

[Fl stingergt]

Moving nut one full turn does not move much takes a few turns. Counter clockwise is moving lights up.

When I lowered my car the lights barely went out 40 feet. Now it’s back to 300 feet

 

[Fl stingergt]

10 inch gets you back to stock range

10 inch gets you back to stock range

My wife wishes 10 inch was stock lol (sorry couldn't resist after reading this thread!)

Cheers for the info about headlight adjustment - handy to know

 

[Fl stingergt]

I set that up good for ya

 

[Volvowith18psi]

Right, 10" (lol). How far are you guys parking from the wall to measure? Most guides say 20' from the wall is where you should park.

 

[Fl stingergt]

I did mine at 10feet

 

[Volvowith18psi]

I have a small driveway, well really, a garage.... So, if 10" @10' is getting us back to stock, then 3"@3', 4"@4' etc.., should produce the same results, in theroy, correct?

I mis aligned my HID 6000K's a long long time ago and it would literally make people angry on the road. Trying to avoid that again lol.

 

[Fl stingergt]

Haven’t had any body flash lights at me yet. Been couple months already.

 

[Socalstinga]

I was actually only about 5-7 feet from my garage door when I did mine. So the adjustment was only about 4-5 inches which was good for me. Actually might be a tad higher than stock. these lights are super bright and cover a very good range.

 

[Volvowith18psi]

Same. Mine are maxing out +4"@7'

I am going to replace the stock springs with Eibach's this weekend...
