The ride is much nicer and not harsh with the lowering links like before. Mostly due to the fact that I didn't adjust them that much this time to get the ride height. It looks great with no wheel gap but it rides harsh and its not safe for large dips in the road since it would most likely hit the liner/fenders. I have a set of 7mm and 14mm spacers I will see what it would like with the spacers. They were laying around for my Turbo and they don't need them at the moment. So lets experiment. I hope I have some longer bolts laying around. Sorry for crappy pics. It was late.



...diggin the white break calipers!

Here are some shots I quickly took today after lunch. It was a nice day so happy hour is soon to follow I think

This setting is the lowest that I would go and it perhaps is too low for some people. It does get a litlte bouncy going in and coming out of dips and speed bumps. I put it into comfort and it is tolerable. If i tried to lower the car to this height with just the lowering link it would be atrocious and hit very hard on bumps/dips. Even in comfort it was too harsh.

I have included pics of the warning light I get which is a "!" and thats it. You can't change to the menu options because the outline of the car and ride height in the gauge display does not go away.

Here you go:

I will take some better shots in the AM. It is lower again. Measured from the bottom of the rim to the edge of fender it is 28" for the front and 28.5" for the rears. It is low let me tell you. A little bouncier then at 28.5" fronts and 29.25" rears. I am keepin the rake on the car with the front lower than rears.

Thanks Fastforward for the compliments.

I tried a few wire configurations today and they didn't work. I will try to make time to take it apart over the next couple of months.
I'll call you once it arrives so you can walk me though it.... If that's alright with you...

That will be $599.00 and I will give anyone who pays me that the courtesy of a reach around.

No problem.

i'm confused on why the links produce a harsher ride? its both methods (driving on loading level or links) producing the same effect of lowering the car?

Bill it won't happen and I think you know it. As you noticed the people who have it haven't even said a word or have tried to help you out. Which I find rather odd since they have spoken to him in the past as well. I thought this was a community of Cayenne/Porsche enthusiasts that have each others backs.

Canberk I was almost a statistic but I am glad that I called before I purchased it and that call was the key in me making the decision in NOT buying it from him.

It was really odd the ones never said anything about the product, they felt like they should make others to buy this too, so that they won't feel cheated and alone..
