It's a way to lower the suspension using a VAG. Use the search feature for more info..........

The 402 mod is a way to lower the ar beyond it's lowest setting using the VAG-Com tool.

402 refers to the stock setting at level 2 of 402mm from the center of the wheel to the lip of the fender. If you tell your car it's at a different height than 402 the car will attempt to correct it and thereby lowering (or raising) the ride height. You are essentially tricking the susupension.

Before and after pictures show a 15mm drop in front, 10mm rear.

Default Yes Nebuchadnezzar is the chief 402 punk... :-)

He has written the definitive how-to on the subject. Get a VAGCOM and give it a shot.


Hey Neb - You're not upset with me because I bagged on the 402 mod are you?

Nah, I don't mind that you're wrong. :-) I noticed better handling but it's still a boat.
