RE: Vag-Com lowering car
if our shocks had litlle adjusting motors on them connected to the ecu, sure. lol
cheapest way would be lowering springs, but if you don't get upgraded shocks with them, your handling/ride quality could diminish.

RE: Vag-Com lowering car
Well with the awesome dual purpose air bags there was this article I found and was wondering if this is a good idea or if it can even really be done on a FWD TT:
The Audi allroad comes with a height adjustable suspension that lowers or raises the car through four preset levels. The car's computer includes a calibration tool that allows you to reset the height to factory specifications in case you're car was to get out of normal operating range. This modification "tricks" your car into thinking that it is out of normal specifications. By telling the allroad that it is indeed higher than it really is, it will adjust itself to ride lower on all four settings or vice versa if you were to tell it that it was lower than it really is.
I guess the Vag-com can adjust the factory suspension settings but is that safe?

OK I thought that this wouldnt work on our cars but wanted to see if anyone had heard of this. Thanks.
On another note Cincy why are you such a d*ick man? Grow up and quit downing people for asking questions. If I understand you right you are the kind of guy who thnks he is so smart but if you were so smart you would be designing cars and doing professional tuning and such and making big money. But I do undersdtand your type as I have dealt with them for more than 21 years in the Army. And also those ones in the Army that are like you are usually 17 or 18 so I can understand why they are like that. So quit trying to sound like you are the sh*t when you really are just a piece of sh*t. I may not know as much about cars as you but Im pretty sure I dont try to sell myself in the area Im good at just to make it sound like Im somebody.
Thanks to all the others who answer without ******* people.
