Wow that looks so good @Long! What are the specs on your wheel and tire setup?

Is this what you're using on your car?

That one is for other Audi models. Here is the correct one for the GT:
 
Hi,
I dont think this is the same with my CETE lowering module. I set the car to -37mm in comfort and dynamic. Any lower and the car will start putting lights up on the dash. The car no longer makes adaptations during speed levels except when I set the speed on my app that tells it to return to stock settings at a certain speed.

Hi,
Tag Motorsprts did put the correct link.
They did a very nice Audi Gt. The rims on the model they used were more expensive.

I took my car to Supreme Power in Fullerton (they have a very nice clean shop). Eric and Kim helped me there.
They installed my rims and tires, my CETE module, and they had my brakes painted red ( best job I have seen, with decals and clear coat of course).
Tire set up from Vossen is standard on their website.
285/30ZR22. FRONT MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S
335/25ZR22 REAR MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S
About 10k for the work.
I took my car to Audi dealership after for the 4 wheel alignment and sensors needed reclaibration.

Btw I feel like I lost some range due to the larger wheels. Its about 20 miles less on 80% charge. Such is life to look cool I guess.

Car looks great, I have the exact same tire setup and Vossen's, just a different style and lowered with links. I ordered an RS coming in a few months and will probably go with the CETE module next time or a shop in Laguna Hills can lower via factory scan tool. I lost some range as well, estimated 5-10 miles with the bigger wheels but worth it IMO
I am in Orange County as well, a few of us are actually working with Audi Club Los Angeles to put together an all etron cruise coming up soon. Be on the lookout for posts as would be great if you can make it
 
The flexibility of the CETE module makes it worth it, IMO. While you're not messing with it every day, I love the ability to alter the various ride heights when needed. And, perhaps a unique use case for my nightmare of a driveway: I actually use it to RAISE the car so that I don't scrape (while also using the 'raise' function in the MMI).
 
WOW. Your car looks amazing. Loving the rims.

But you're not getting your lip kissed by potholes? The streets of LA eat up lowered cars and I already think in eco mode, the car gets low enough already.
For instance, I cant even get up my driveway in eco mode due to scraping of the front lip due to the angle of my driveway. And when in eco mode, I have to go ahead and proactively change the setting when I get to some freeway entrance and exits due to the lowered stance.

How are you speed bumps and driveway/curb entry way entrance speed?

Is it to the point where you have to slow down traffic to enter or can you just slip into a driveway without any contact and with your dignity intact? (i just think of slammed honda civics trying to enter a driveway)

Or are you always changing the level of the car while driving? i.e. throwing into eco so super low, change the setting to comfort before you get to a driveway? Or raising the car all the way to do an entrance to a driveway?

Man, the car looks beautiful don't get me wrong, but I think there comes a fine line between enjoying the car without any worries and driving a nice car with having to worry about street conditions or getting your car banged up just by driving it.
 
Thanks for the comment. I have had a lot of experience driving lowered cars. I drive low and slow. Its a trade off. In areas where the streets are bad I drive in the highest setting. In places I've never been I take my time and cruise. In fact I think it should be lower...(the module allows this, but the car will throw up errors and well as be very bumpy), so its a compromise. As far as speed bumps I try and avoid them. If I need to go over one. The Cete module I have can raise the car over stock height even. I typically can get out in or in most driveways as long as there is room to go diagonally without adjusting the height. My friend this is how most sports cars are! My R8 was lowered and it was the same way.

Same here, you just have to be aware. I rarely drive in eco mode (dont like the feel of the suspension in that mode either) and am quick to raise the car up when entering driveways or over speed bumps. I am in Orange County as well and luckily the roads here are much better than LA. Lowered vehicles are definitely not for everyone but I enjoy the sportier look it provides
Mine is on lowering links, here it is next to @Ps702 with us both in lowest setting of efficiency mode to compare
 
I was just able to try this with VCDS and was not able to go higher than adding 10 to each value without getting an "out of range" error. Does it matter what mode drive select is? I was in Comfort at the time which I figured made the most sense but it seems like these values should be independent of that. Also, mine started out quite a bit higher than yours to start. I suppose that's to be expected but the "out of range" issue is perplexing. I was able to add 10 to each corner just fine. What I'm not sure how to do is the reset of the suspension... There was a basis setting called "reset all adaptations" which sounds ominous but maybe that's it?
Do you mind sharing the steps on how? is this adaptation listed under the Chassis module (74) or elsewhere?
 
After putting some miles on the car with it 10mm lower, there is a significant difference in NVH. Development of the car was definitely done with factory set ride height in mind.

I'm hearing sounds, rattles and bumps are more pronounced.
It handles and looks significantly better. E-Tron GT had too much body roll, but lowering really helps reduce that
