I've got a B7 Passat with the Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) option fitted and have been considering finding some way to lower the ride height by 15-20mm to change the look of the car.
Question comes to my mind through this is whether the DCC would require a recalibration/tune against the new spring heights if I'm doing this? Having the dampers allow nicer settings depending on my drive situation is great. Comfort for the long haul highway rides, Sport for the twisty country roads or if I want to get my son to fall asleep and Normal for the everyday commute in town.
I recognise that with shortening the springs I'm going to stiffen up the ride and the comfort levels somewhat. How much though? Will lowering the ride height by the 15mm or so mark make the ride a level lower? My current Normal setting will feel a bit more like Sport setting and Sport setting a bit firmer than before... stuff like that?
Anyone have any advice on these?
