Default Lowering module finally installed. Pics inside

Just finished installing my lowering module. Instructions say about 2 hours but it took all of 45 minutes. Changed the cabin filter while I was in there too. I took these pics right after but I cant remember which were the ones on 3 and 5, but 5 is the lowest. I'll drive it on 3.

Its a datasystem and like Rominl mentioned, it came from PS, but I got it from a board member in the classifieds. It came with color printed instructions that were as detailed as anything else I've ever done. The only thing I didnt understand was how to actually work the system but I figured it out in about 5 minutes. And maybe Rominl can help me out on this, but I cant figure out how to get it into super low mode. Thanks.

playing from my memory a little bit

car shut off. press / hold bottom left button and start the car. wait for beep, use up/down button to toggle between normal (blue) and super low (red) modes. press bottom left button to confirm. you are done

let me know if you need more info

Thanks Rominl, If I can recall one of the CL member had a problem with DataSystem (uneven height) have you encountered this issue before in your 460L?

After I installed it and started playing with it a bit, I noticed one side on the front was a bit higher than the other, but the datasystem allows you to adjust the height in the front independently. Its a 1 number difference on the settings and the height is even.

i think 1LSsport might be referring to the one where the air suspension malfunction and one side slammed to the ground.

and to clarify a bit, the wheel gap from factory is already different left and right, even for cars with air suspension. what happens is when you lower it, the difference become more noticeable that's all.

also, the height is highly dependent on how your car is standing, whether it's inclined one way or another, etc...

but yes, like you said, front left, front right, and rear are all adjustable independently so you can line everything up

Thanks. Im still thinking if I wanted tinted or not. We're coming up on our fall months here so it shouldnt be so hot but I'll decide during that time since everyone seems to drop their tint prices at that time. I guess not everyone want tints in the winter time.

The car looks very nice.
Is the only way to lower the LS the lowering module or can the springs be swapped like most other cars?

air controller is only for cars with air suspension.

for ls460 without air, doing springs or coilovers is the way to go
