I'm debating whether to go with OEM 20's and use H&R springs, or go 22's and coilovers.. ride comfort is important..

any feedback?

you can always go with 22s and H&R. I have 22s on my car with Techart springs. It wasn't low enough, so I had to cut some coils. But since ride comfort is important to you, you should always go with just H&R springs.
You can still go with 22s.

So what is the downside to cutting springs? I've had cars with cut springs in the past... and thought the ride was fine. How low did you go and how was the ride/alignment? Got pics? You guys do that in Gardena?

I cut 3 coils.. and my cayenne has become a 2 seater now. more than 1 passenger in the back will be a rough ride. It wont matter if you're driving alone, its the people at the back who're gonna be suffering
The only downside to cutting the springs besides bumpy ride for the passengers will be your shocks. However,if you only cut 1 coil or less, it doesnt even matter. =)

The car rides decently well with 22s and H&R springs. I would not worry too much about it. A tad bit more rebound, but dampening isn't too bad.
