Need some advice on mods

I am planning to do some light mods on my 06 cayenne V6, but need some feedback:

1) planning to put on 22 inch rims, but can the engine take the weight? will it be too heavy? will it effect the suspensions, etc? i am no speed demon, so looks are a priority. what tyre sizes shud i use?

2) lowering springs eibach or HnR? which one stops the body roll without compromising ride comfort? I knw eibach is known to be more comfortale rid, but does it handle tight?

3) if i do a cat bypass, will it spoil my rear mufflers? and will emmision reading go way off?

what else can be done to improve power? I have aready done an ecu reprogram to 275bhp, but still need a bit more to improve throttle response/torque?

suggestions/feedbacks welcomed. (pls dont say upgrade to S or turbo, as i'm quite stuck with the V6 for now.)

For better throttle response, add the Sprint Booster from GMB Performance.

Best $300.00 you could spend and they offer a 30 day money back guarantee. I installed it myself and a mechanic I am not.

ok but i have already remapped my ecu which improves throttle response already. according to my local sprint booster dealer, might be too strong and hard to control.

anyone has done springs? hnr or eibach? heard eibach is more comfortable, but hardly any looks lowered. hows the handling though?

Everything is a compromise. Both the 22's and the suspension changes will make the ride quality noticeably worse. You might consider changing the wheels and the suspension separately so you can skip the later mods if the ride quality seems headed in a direction you are unhappy with.

You are not going to get a lot more power out of the V6 unless you add forced induction (turbo or supercharger) but then you are talking about a lot of money.
