Default Lower the Allroad

Was wondering if anyone can tell me how comlicated or uncomplicated it is to get the front end of the Allroad to sit a bit lower while in the lowest setting? I have a set of 19's that would look a hell of a lot better without all the extra space.
2001 Allroad 2.7t

Thanks, Paul

You might be interested in the '402 mod' outlined here.. http://www.allroadfaq.com/howto/suspension.shtml

Very cool that you can lower via Vag Com. Based on that pic, I dunno if 19s would even fit. It's pretty damn low with not much clearance at all. Those look like they are 17s or maybe 18s and there's no room left.

You happen to have a pic of your allroad with the 19s on it? I wanna see how the larger wheels look.

The 402 mod allows you to lower it at various heights. The picture shows basically the most feasible lowest setting.

Wow thanks that was very informative. Any guess on what a Vag com tool costs and the best place to score one?

I know this is an old thread, but I have recently seen a picture of a physicall kit, that I now cannot find. It was basically a different set of links or arms in the suspension that basically leaves level 2 and 3 unchanged but level one is lower and level four is higher just due to the geometry. Does anyone know anything about this? sound perfect for my insterests
