And here - simpler procedure. Code the module rather than each individual suspension sensor

Stock settings front and rear - 190/236 (182/228 with powerkit).
Anyone know what the gts factory settings are?

Interstingly, according to the the 08 owners manual, a GTS is 20mm lower than standard in normal setting.
Low level reduces the ride height by 24mm (9mm on a GTS) loading by 54mm (34mm GTS).

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I am going to order a Durametric and take off the lowering links that came with my car. Is there only one place to buy the Durametric and do this? I didn't know if there were any other options to get one other than straight from the source.

Pelican sells as well but the price is the same as direct.

The other option is a preowned unit but be careful, the enthusiast model is limited to 3 cars.

Thank you for the info Rick. With these drops links should I just resize them to stock specs or buy factory links as I don't have them? I don't know the length of the stock links and I can't seem to find a place selling them after some searching. Suggestions?

Does anyone know the length of the stock bars on the height level sensors? I'd like to use my drop links but put them back to stock height.

Sid3ways, the adjustable links will not adjust down to the stock length. The PO of my '08GTS did the links and tossed the factory pieces. The factory links are only available as part of the sensor assembly.... ugh.

I compressed the adjustable links to their shortest setting then used Durametric to gain the last few mms the links couldn't accomplish.

That makes sense why I can't find the originals sold anywhere. So I should just compress (which raises the car) the adjustable links and then use the Durametric for the remaining amount? Did that end up riding better when you did that? I can't stand how bouncy the car is now, I'm looking to regain the factory vehicle's dampening ability as much as possible but retain a lowered look.

Yes, this corrected the bouncy ride. It places the air springs in their normal travel window and rides/handles much better.
I must add that my GTS is still about 10-12 mm lower than a stock vehicle so the lowered look is maintained. Drop it down a notch and it looks good while not killing your tires or kidneys.

Excellent! So does that mean you still lowered the car the 25mm max through Durametric while using the drop links on the highest setting? If you didn't choose the standard 25mm drop, what number did you pick to get it 10-12mm lower?

I put the car back to the stock setting via Durametric.. However, the adjustable links won't compress to the length of the factory links so it is lowered by default about 10mm.
