How is max setting achieved ?

Is able to de done manually or is it just something the computer does ?

Any additional info would be appreciated.

As outlined by rmp & CaverD3.
It should be noted that you can only achieve 'Super Extended' mode after car automatically goes from 'Off Road' mode to 'Extended' mode - this happens once the computer senses that the car has failed to proceed in 'Off Road' mode. Using the block of wood or axle stand under the chassis simulates this or if in the bush you may be hung up in a ramp over situation or on a rock etc. The car will then go into 'Extended' mode automatically and if desired/required the extra 35mm height to 'Super Extended' mode can be achieved by simultaneous engagement of foot brake and air suspension up toggle.
As mentioned in previous post though "it would not be wise to drive at this height".

Attention D3 coiler owners,

Could we have some measurements from the owners of the D3 coilers please to see how they compare, particularly suspension specs of the raised spring ones.

It looks like I may have finally sorted out the springs for the front of my D3 (to match the rear). King Spring set No KRFR 13, they will give me a lift of 50mm to 55mm which will increase the front cross member clearance to around 240mm which should make a noticeable diffference. Still not as high as the air suspension at normal off road height.

Keep the info comeing

Thanks

Howard
