This was a great tutorial, thank you RennMan. Used the Durametric Enthusiast cable. Took me about 15 mins. I kept the Cayenne running while I did this, very simple process. New normal height, very happy.

I wonder if tire size has anything to do with it. I have wrong tire size which is about 1.3 inches taller than stock...I wonder if that messes with the input value.




pdcc shouldnt' matter right? 08 turbo and It'll take values lower(raise the car) but it won't take any values higher to lower the car...hmmm

Tire size, PDCC doesn't matter here.

Techart module is the same process since the Techart module is just a reflashed factory module. I have lowered my Techart module this way, as well as at least one other member that I know of.

I've got mine ordered. I should have it by the the end of the week and ill be trying it this weekend. So with the Techart I'll just enter the same amount as I would with a stock module right?

ok, the only thing i don't understand on the instructions is where it says if using the techart module you have to use the "correct" measurements and not to add any values (i'm assuming the 25mm).

If it took the first time and I want to set it at a different height do I need to reverse the process and then do it again with new values?

FIGURED IT OUT!!!

what happened was i lowered it and it took about 20 min.

then i wasn't quite happy with the stance so i wanted to change it. had a little bit of problems here but what i figured out was that i have to reverse the process and get if back to what it was originally, then i re did the new values and it worked perfectly!!

here's a crappy pic in the garage once i finished. this is at low driving mode. once the rain lets up i'll get it out for some decent pics...

FL +20
FR +20
RL +25
RR +25

keep in mind i have the techart lowering module. and the techart module seems to sit higher in the back when its installed thats why i dropped the back more than i dropped the front...

Joined just to say thank you for this write up! Found the write up and did the adjustment this morning before work. Took less than 15 minutes. I did +30 all around and it accepted these settings.
