Best way to lower an 08 Cayenne S?

I'm looking to upgrade from my stock 18's to some 20's or 22's.. but want to reduce some of the wheel well gap when i do so..

Ride comfort/quality is important - so what's the best method to lower it just a bit? I don't have the air suspension.

Thanks!

-Brett

I would lower it using adjujustable links. Easy to install. Plus you dont have to mess with any electrical.

Adjustable Air Ride

No, The best ride will be provided by installing coilovers. They will also give you a lower ride vs springs.

kw coilovers

Kw coilovers work best!

Here's an example of a cayenne (w/o air suspension) using KW coilovers..
they are adjustable anytime, but you'll have to adjust them manually.
However, there's always a cheaper way: Techart/H&R springs will work too.

The ride's not too bad, best for only 1 pessenger =p
if you often have people sitting at the back, dont bother!
