OEM Bi-Xenon Leveling and Coilovers

[rdfcpete]

I'm running AP coilovers on my MY10 A3 BE 3door, it's sat fairly low but nothing silly (see below).

Do I need to make any VCDS tweaks for the Bi-Xenon levelers to adapt to being pivoted in a lower position or will they do this automatically?
Just feels sometimes like the beam pattern is a bit shorter than it normally would be on factory suspension, when perhaps I'd expect to have a bigger beam pattern lighting up more of the road ahead.

Does anyone notice any different behavior here when lowered?

Thanks.

Yeah you need to check the levelling sensor, mine went pete tong when I first lowered it..

How are you finding the coilys mate?

What's the secret to resolving it N8, wiggle it about or are we talking software changes in VCDS?

Ideal for what I need - around town they're good and don't expose understeer too much when pushed. More hardcore drivers would look to spend more than double what these were though...

Mine had bent, took it out and re-shaped it..

Interesting... I suspect I'm suffering from a similar condition.

What on earth should it look like?
