RE: PI lowering springs

This is the company out of Texas. http://www.pureevoque.com/

I think we're just seeing the beginning of the after-market mods for these cars as they are so popular. Have always found the Germans to be on the cutting edge of car-mods when a new model came out, usually quality stuff. Anyway, good luck with your project and get up some pics when you're done. And... ignore the "jolly olde" types as their idea of modding a car is to stick a badge on the grill that says they've been to "Pumping Wells" or something!

RE: PI lowering springs

Does lowering the Evoque muck up the magna ride system?

RE: PI lowering springs

Not sure of the answer (but my guess is 'yes') but I can almost guarantee it will invalidate your warranty.

Do a thread search on 'springs' and you will get a number of threads to peruse.

This one infers you can't do it

RE: PI lowering springs

I would imagine that the Magneride dampers/ shocks would have to be changed to get the ride height lowered. Land Rover isn't the only company to use Magneride dampers - Ferrari and Audi also use them so they might have a version that would suit a lower ride height BUT is a lower ride height worth the huge cost, potentially ruining the car's handling and of course loosing your car's warranty. Bear in mind also that the Evoque's Magneride dampers operate all the time and also are linked to the electric power steering. Pressing the Dynamic mode button changes the mapping of both the damping reactions and the steering feel.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Thank you for your reply.

So is there another way of losing the gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch, not worried about off road, also you have to remember that if you load the Evoque with people the ride height lowers so not sure the shocks would need to be replaced, lowering a vehicle improves handling as it lowers the center of gravity, that's why all high performance cars are low and not high.
