The IIDTool at the moment only reads and clears fault codes for the D5, suspension changes and CCF changes do not work. The suspension on Lee's car is likely in offroad 2 setting (+75mm).Quote:

-25, -35, -50?
LLAMS is programmed to lower the L494 by 18mm or 34mm by calibration option and the L405 and L462 by 21mm or 39mm by calibration option. The 18mm/21mm default lowering when used with access height is very close to the bump-stops. The 34mm/39mm option cannot be used with access height because the suspension won't go that low. Note that the L494 sits lower than the L405/L462.
The Vogue and Disco can lower normal height by 39mm although I strongly suspect this would not be advisable due to lack of suspension travel resulting in the vehicle continually bouncing off the bump-stops on minor surface irregularities, so realistically 21mm. The RRS is either 34mm or 18mm with the same expected bouncing if lowered 34mm for other than moving slowly.
These vehicles don't have the high speed lowering of the L319/L320/L322 - they stay at normal height.
So LLAMS max recommended max
Vogue 21mm
Disco 21mm
RRS 18mm
Would it be fair to say all three could be pushed to 25mm without much drama with whatever tool allows specific mm of drop.
So 1inch drop
So potentially you could do a 4inch subframe drop, and 1 inch elec suspension drop and only lift 3inches for engineering purposes + say 50mm tyres giving you:
100mm total onroad lift
offroad 125mm+
or 100mm tyres giving you 150mm lift onroad or 175mm lift offroad
Or
3inch sub drop, 1 inch electric susp drop + 2inch tyre increase for max lift without cert. Total 75mm onroad lift, offroad 100mm+ lift
I'm confused. You asked about suspension lowering then speak of sub-frame lowering. The discussion was of a kit to raise the body so I suspect you were wanting to know how far the suspension can electronically or otherwise be raised, not lowered. Those Llams measurements are for lowering the vehicle, not for raising.
Llams' medium raised is OR1 height (35mm RRS, 40mm Vogue & D5) and high raised 54mm/63mm or by calibration option OR2 height (65mm/75mm). However I'm not proposing that a raised height be used when road conditions don't warrant although a lot of my GC kits are fitted to obtain guard clearance for larger tyres.
