I am also going to install the Vivid Racing ECU upgrade which gives it 117 more HP, bringing it to 557HP.

I'll let you know how it goes. And I will take a photo of the car lowered, with my phone and post later.

thanks a lot! beautiful build btw! I have the 971 e hybrid in volcano grey. Love the custom color though. Was also thinking of doing VR tune and spacers as well but paranoid the spacers might not handle or react as great with the added power. Probably would be fine but just paranoid with that kind of power (VR tuned supposedly puts the e hybrid at 580hp). Let me know when you get the VR stuff, would love to see a user review before pulling the trigger

BTW since you have the 4S, RaceChip also makes a tune for your car in case you hadn't seen:

Here are photos of the car with the lowering module active. This was the default setting when I installed and it works. I have not had any rubbing with spacers or wheel wells and ride is still very smooth.

5 in front and 7 in rear. I feel I could do 8 and 10.

what is the advantage of using the lowering module compared to lowering it using the PCM?

You can go lower than the lowest PCM setting, so you can slam the car, just as you would do the same with lowering springs or coil-overs. Ride may get a little harsher, but it isn't in the PS4 compared to the lowering springs I have on my RS5 which is really hard. And you get a lower center of gravity so less body roll, more like you are on rails.

So I have taken the risk as I was not happy with the 5 and 8mm spacers and went with 15mm on all 4 wheels and have the car graphic lowering module installed with 4 wheel steering and no rubbing and no vibration during driving.

Photos of passenger side of car is 15mm, and photos on driver side are 5 and 8mm. Also car is in various states of lowering in the photos. Cargraphics lowering module vs. Low Std Height.

15MM Passenger Side







5 and 8MM Driver Side
