I have the champion lowering springs but they are too stiff for me with my 22's on the car. So this car shop said they could "cut off" a bit of the stock springs to bring the car lower while maintaining some comfort. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

 

I thik its possible, but Ive seen many cars with stock springs cut off that have a very bouncy ride.

 

can you install springs on a Cayenne with the adjustable air ride option? will it mess anything up?

 

Do not cut the factory springs.... There are many problems that can transpire by doing this and you will most definitely get a bouncy ride.

 

Don't cut the springs on the S as it will just make the ride more unstable and harsher. It is not worth the risk of having somethign happen to save a bit of money. The ride shoudl nto be that bad with the lowering springs and 22s on. I have riden in both an HR and TechArt lowered cars with 22s with no issues.

BD997:

The Turbo has the airmatic. To lower that you need either a suspension ecu or lowering links for the angle sensors. So long story short, no springs. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Carelton.... Im going in tomorrow to spec it out.

Congratulations in advance, I hope you enjoy your upcoming Cayenne in good health.

 

Thank you kindly...

 

I agree with everyone else, it is NOT a good idea to cut the springs... I have cut stock springs before and the ride is not good... It's much better to be a little stiff than too bouncy.

 

A buddy of mine just cut his Eibach springs and I really can't tell the difference. I have the Eibach's as well and I will be cutting mine next week. Honestly, I really couldn't tell the difference.

 

i have eibach springs now. i am thinking of cutting them also. how many coils did you cut off?

 

I think it's ok to cut linear rate springs but if the springs are progessive (smaller at the top than the bottom) then it's a big no-no.
