my cayenne has springs, i was thinking, as for upgrading... lowering springs. then i thought why not install airbag suspension?

anyone do this before? are there any kits out there?

Most people want to get away from air suspension... I have used the Eibach lowering springs and they worked out fine. It drove rougher the usual but looked a hell of a lot better!!

 

I am thinking it would be cheaper to sell/buy cayenne's. I am assuming your Cayenne would need to be retrofitted with all the various air controllers, not to mention the air suspension itself is very expensive. I just had the front air struts replaced by the dealer at just over $5k. Even an aftermarket air suspension would probably get spendy fast.

 

If you decided to go aftermarket it wouldn't be all that cheap. Cheaper then the factory but you would have to do a custom setup and getting it to not ride like a tuna boat would be something to be desired. I don't care what anyone says, airbag suspensions will ride like crap if no designed properly. Anybody can make a vehicle go up and down, make it ride right, that's another story. The factory tapered sleeve bag on the cayenne is a great setup.

I've setup custom airbags on coilovers HKS-Eibach-Tein etc so that the bag can be threaded up and down to get it to ride perfect at ride height at X psi. You'd also want to try and get something with dampening control. I use the Universal Air Strut Bag. I also use AirRideTechnologies products.

You could also bag a stock strut but.......

 

Trade it
