Frequently Asked Questions
Adjustable Ride Height Links
How will the ride be once lowered?
The lower you go the more stiffer it will feel.
Will lowering my vehicle improve the handling?
Yes. A lower center of gravity always helps
Will the raise button inside the vehicle still work?
Yes. Depending how low you go, once lowered the highest setting will be approx. the same height as the lowest setting before the vehicle was lowered.
Will I need an alignment?
Any time a vehicle is lowered it should be checked. The wheels will Camber in. With my car lowered about 1.25″ I have not had it done and notice slight inside ware on the front tires. I personally like a little Camber look so will sacrifice a little tire ware.
Will the ABC Sport button still work?
Yes. When applied you will still have that extra sporty feel.
What height do you mostly drive at?
It depends on my mood. I find that there is such a difference between the settings now. Lowest with ABC Sport On feels so sporty yet raised all the way with Sport Off is nice and smooth. Find I use the Raise button a lot more. Before lowering would never use it, was almost like a 4×4 when raised.
Can this kit be installed with basic mechanical skills?
Yes definitely. All that’s needed is a jack, jack stands, monkey wrench and Pliers.
How low can I lower my vehicle with the Links?
Lower then you can possibly drive.
How will the Lowering Links effect my warranty?
We have all heard stories how dealerships try to deny claims for any reason. Our kits have never caused any issue on any vehicle. If for some strange reason someone did have a problem with their Suspension System we recommend to remove the Links and put the stock 1’s back. That’s another advantage of our kit. It can be done in 30 min. and there will be no trace of it unlike Electronic Modules with cut wires.
Why didn’t you make the Link Adjustable without removing 1 end off the ball stud?
I don’t like the turn buckle design. There is a lot of vibration through out the suspension and if the lock nut comes loose the Link will adjust by itself causing the suspension to move. The vehicle may either raise or lower and could cause something catastrophic to happen.
Is there a ride difference between Links & Modules?
No!!! They both are doing the same job just at different points. The strut only has so much travel inside.
Will any error codes display?
No but if you lower the vehicle excessively then it will. Can go usually a max of 3” but each vehicle is different. If it does come on just raise it a little and it will go away.
Do you need to change the ball studs with your Links?
No. They attach just like the OEM Links.
Where do you ship to?
World wide.
Maptuner X
How many vehicles can a Maptuner X Do?
Unlimited.
Can I clear Fault Codes?
Yes, but only once a vehicle is registered.
Can I store multiple tunes in the Maptuner X?
Yes. Can very easily switch between them when you are out to see which one works best.
What is needed for programming?
Internet for the initial Tune. Once downloaded on the Maptuner X you can install it any time.
Do different Manufacturers use differnt cables?
Yes. Each Manufacturer uses a different type of cable to connect to the computer. Maptuner has them all.
Is there any charge for different Tunes in case I do more upgrades?
No. Choose from any Tune in our data base once a License is purchased.
What happens if the dealer puts the stock Tune back on my machine?
No problem. Just add the Maptune again.
Will adding a Tune void my warranty?
Hard to say. We recommend to reinstall the stock Tune and clear all codes if you feel like there may be an issue prior to visiting the dealer.
How long does it take to install the Tune?
For Jet Ski’s about 4 min and Snowmobiles 2.
What octane is recommended after a Tune?
When you choose your file it will say the minimum Octane requirement. Most Watercraft and Snowmobiles need 91 Octane but we suggest using Chevron 94.
Can you make a custom Tune for my application?
Yes. We sell Data logger kits. Send us your logs and we can get the perfect setup.
Does the Maptuner have additional Apps?
Yes. Can purchase a variety of them. History Reset, Service Reset, DESS Key Management and Remove Break-in Period.
