Hey guys I was looking at upgrading rims to 22's for my stock V6 cayenne. Will the stock brakes suffice or will they need to be upgraded? Also if anyone has pics of 22's on the stock non-air suspension that would be greatly appreciated.

-If I install H&R springs for a bit of a drop will I need to replace the shocks as well?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks in advance.

 

I have an S with 22s so it has bigger brakes but i know a ton of people put 22s on the v6. You don't need to replace the shocks

 

i knw a few peopel with 23s on a V6 no problems

 

next time i am putting 21s from bbs.
i also had 22s on my v8 and brake was no issue from what i saw.
can't speak for v6ers

here is 22s with H&R and 22s

Thanks for the input guys.

Raja- Those pics are w/H&R's? DO you have any before you put the springs in? I am afraid its going to look like a 4x4 with stock springs

Also did you change your shocks when you put the lowering spring in? I am afraid that if I leave the stock shocks in they will blow quicker and give a bouncy ride rather than a sportier ride.

 

no, i do not have without the h&r.
i got the wheels and springs put on the same day.
i just changed the springs, no shock. you r right it will wear out faster but you should be fine for 2-3 years IMHO. h&r is bouncier than stock for sure.

i think the h&r drop is great though.

 

Thanks for your help and insights

Any other opinions/ pics?

 

pick a good & light wheel if u go 22''. something heavier than ur stocker will slow ur V6 down quite a bit.

 

Looking at a set of DPE's. Would those make a considerable difference?

Also do you guys suggest changing shocks at the same time as springs?
