Thanks for this man! Looks good! There are no videos and I’m about to do this on a Panamera tomorrow. I knew it was pretty simple compared to the airlift suspension I put on my lexus.
So if for some reason you need to raise it up like if your car breaks down and a tow truck is with the air suspense. Can you still raise it up and if so, how many inches?
Thanks for this, I just got a Sport Turismo GTS and ordered the Airmatic links but havent installed them yet. did you have to remove the wheels to do it or just access it from under the car?
We did it from under the car in the back and above the tire in the front. You just have to lift the car up a bit to get under it but super simple to do
Looks great! Curious if those rubber grommets were put on backwards? If they are included to help keep debris out of the joint then shouldn’t the bigger side face the ball of the link?
Hi do you have the length of the original links. I am making my own and only have a limited amount of time on the ramps at my local garage. I have stainless steel threaded bar and end links. I need to cut them roughly to size 1st. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the reply back... how much of a drop did you do? I'm doing my 2018 pan turbo s today, I just do not want to sacrifice ride quality over looks
@@HQGARAGE for the fronts did you do 5mm longer or 10mm and for the rear 5mm shorter or 10mm? I believe max would be to lengthen and shortening the links by 10mm
HEY WHAT'S UP DUDE !! WHEN U LOWER THE CAR WITH THOSE BARS I WAS WONDERING IF ITS NOT GOING 2 MESS IT UP . I HAVE A RANGE ROVER SVR SOME DUDE TOLD ME 2 GET THE MODULE INSTEAD OF THE BARS.
I'm hoping you can help me troubleshoot this issue. I installed the front links first and everything seemed fine. I then went on to install the rear links. After installation, the airmatic system keeps calling for the car to lower. The car lowered until it seems the rears were completely deflated and the fronts wouldn't move. I tried readjusting the links but there was no change. The adjustment made was 5mm each. One set longe the other set shorter per instructions. Thinking maybe this just doesn't work for my vehicle, (2008 GL450) I decided to reinstall the original links. To my dismay, this problem persists. The rear bags will not inflate. I deflated the entire system by releasing one of the air lines on the front. After the vehicle became level through this process, I restarted the vehicle hoping the entire system would inflate. However, only the front bags would inflate. I tried pressing the raise vehicle button on the console which raised the front up even higher and the rears stayed the same. Now the front of the vehicle is at its highest position and won't come down and the rears do not operate. This is with the factory links installed. Previous to installing the lowering links, there was no issue with the system. I'm devastated because if to fix will cost thousands of dollars I'm done with the vehicle. Any advice would be helpful.
Hey, thank you for reaching out. When installing the links did a wire or the plugs for the height sensors come unplugged or did the height sensor arms get positioned backwards when installing the arms? It’s odd that it is the entire rear of the car which makes me believe there is most likely a simple solution in the rear.
@@HQGARAGE I don’t think anything became unplugged. It seemed like a pretty smooth removal and install. My scanner shows voltage at the sensors but they are different from the front voltage. I don’t know what the voltage is supposed be however.
@@HQGARAGE I could try to confirm the rear sensors that but I’m confused as to why the front would raise up and stay raised. It won’t come to normal height.
My guess would be because it’s trying to level its self. I have been reading through google and found a few other people with similar issues and it was the level sensors.
Yo....your grommets are on backwards. The larger opening is supposed to seal against the new link. Not everybody should be making tutorial videos if they just winging it...
got some links for my model s hopefully it’s as easy as it seems ! thanks for the post it’ll help me a lot

You are so welcome and it is super simple and the results are awesome. Have fun with the install 🙌🙌

Thx for doing this video ! Makes sense how it all works now !
No Problem at all. Thanks for stopping by 🙏🙏

Thanks 🙏 hmmmmmm ponderous? I will have to double check that. Thanks for the feedback
Thanks a lot for this video! Just did it to my 2014 panamera..28in ride height all around...I tried 27.5in but was a bit too bumpy for me
Well, off I go to buy some lowering links now. XD Thanks for the video dude. Digging your content.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment.

I don’t happen to have the measurements anymore, we wrote them on a piece of cardboard but never kept them.
I will however ask the owner if he has the original ones still and see if he can get me the measurements
What a beauty!
It sure is 😍😍😍
Yup it’s incredible how easy it is to lower it with these
Nicely done. Where are you located?
Cheers 🍻 I am in Alberta Canada
Looks great! Sounds mean too. Is that the stock exhaust?
It does sound awesome and yup it’s all stock.
how was the ride quality
Just like factory to be honest.
Thank you for the reply back... how much of a drop did you do? I'm doing my 2018 pan turbo s today, I just do not want to sacrifice ride quality over looks
We went to the max for the drop and honestly I wouldn’t change a thing

I cannot remember the measurements that we selected to lower it.
HEY WHAT'S UP DUDE !!

So far no issues and it has been running great. I personally feel the bars are a very safe solution.
Bro is it the same procedure for an Rs7
Yup it should be the same with any factory air suspension.
Are the front links shorter than the rears?
I cannot remember now, Sorry
Nice! Love that car alot!
It sure is sweet, would be an epic daily.
Have you ever done them on a Range Rover before?
I have not but I assume it would be fairly similar

Could you pull the links off the rear and move the arm to see if the voltages change?

Thanks for your feedback. Have yourself a wonderful day
BMW still looked better IMO
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that.
