I have 20" Gemballa wheels and this is how the car looks right now... and it seems like the gap between the wheel and car is just a little too big. I don't want to close the gap completely, but maybe just lowered it like an inch or 1 1/2 to decrease the gap a little. Is there a safe and easy way for me to lower the car? Would switching to H&R or Eibach springs do the trick? Is just switching the springs safe? Sorry... newbie on lowering. Thanks.

 

something like this?

 

that only works with air suspension

 

Stay with HandR, Eibach is quite bouncy

better yet do KW coilovers, but $3400 a set/plus labor..good golly

 

way to go.

btw, alex where's your old pic of cayenne with 20" and spring?

 

u mean this? techart springs courtesy of Arling

 

so sweet looking...

 

That is the drop I'm looking for... and that was achieved with only changing the springs? How much did it lower it? Would H&R springs be comparable? Is it safe to only change the springs to lower the car? Wouldn't that put too much stress on the struts?

 

Bump bump...

 

i have feeling that someone else in this board is looking at alex's old option... which is best imo.

 

thsiao,
Techart springs drop the car about 40mm. the ride will be stiffer than stock but u can also take turns faster.

i had them on our family CS for almost 3 years with 50k miles with no problems. i have a set in stock currently. PM me for detail.

Cognac,
what's up with the noise from suspension? any news?

PM sent... definitely interested.

 

re-scheduled for next monday...

can not miss maxim party without my cayenne tonight(no cameras allowed )...



***had to re-balance my wheels today... seems like noise went away but gotta double check at my garage. yes, arling i will update you next week. i want to find out for sure...***

 

Where do you guys usually go to get the springs swapped? Any shops in SoCal that anyone would recommend?

Should I go with Techart or H&R?...

This might sound stupid but... do I NEED to do an alignment on the car at the dealer once I have installed new springs???
