Ghostlinks (lowering air suspension)

[sandys]

Agreed, xc60 looks great on comfort access, not so good on stilts

How are you lowering, as those won't do it alone?

They do.

Because of the air suspension, the links effectively tell the car a different value to the poem links.

So a 5mm shorter link will cause the sensor to lower the car 20mm more (made up values, to demonstrate the workings).

Polestar maybe?

Polestar do away with any air suspension and go straight for Ohlins Dampers and Coil Springs (on the front, not too sure what they do spring wise on the rear) which does lower the ride height over standard, however, the cost to retrofit this setup instead of the Air Suspension on non-Polestar Engineered cars would not be effective for most.

As such, I dont believe Polestar offer any air suspension related performance/aesthetics modifications.

I like the sound of this, would save having to toggle the drive mode each time.

That's cool I did not realize that, I was looking at the Heico controller but reckon its a bit more than I need really and costs a packet, just a small drop would do.

Retro fitting something like Ohlins isn't that bad I have put Ohlins or equivalent on a few cars but I'm not after the firmness just a lowering, these links look just the job.

My xc90 lowers when in polestar mode.
Not quite to the access level but it’s not far off.

Would be nice if "Individual" drive mode existed in AAOS cars... and IF you could chose the ride height...

So, hence my quest for Ghostlinks

[sasdiscos]

Ah ok. Sorry. I didn’t realise the new ones didn’t have it.

So some benefits of having an older car then?

It wouldn't drop it by another inch so not really a benefit having an individual setting.
