A Cayenne S with 22's and a 30MM lowering spring vs. stock?

I want to put Tech Art 22's on my Cayenne with their lowering springs and am curious how the height will change from where it is now. About the same? Lower?

Thanks

dmerc:

The car will definately be lower. The TechArt springs definately drop the car more then 30mm and help improve handling, and looks of the car without interfearing with the ride too badly. The 22 inch Formulas should have lower profile tires on them to compensate for the larger diameter in the wheel size. So basically, your car will be as low as it would be by just putting on TechArt springs and leaving the stock wheels. The new wheels should not change the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo. Hope this helps.

Ride height? Check my car under my siggy, I use the Techart spring, it says that it lowers the car by 30mm, thats BS, its actually more than that, about 40mm. Ask TCM, he installed it for me.

Its a good investment, handles better and looks better ^^

So you guys think that if I switch over to the 22's and not change the springs, the ride height will be the same?

I like the ride height the way it is but would like to see the car with the 22's on first because then I might want to drop it.

the ride height will be the same because the overall diameter is about the same. Why don't you get the 22" put it on and if you don't like it, get the spring. It will look awesome with the spring.

Honestly, it won't look good if you get the 22" without lowering it

I was in the market for 22" Techart few months ago but I decided to get something else.

I did alot of research and asked for prices from different company and I found out that Arling from Lucent gave me the best deal and he has the best service too!

Check this out: Arling/Lucent, great service as usual you won't believe this

either you PM him (20C4S) or email him

good luck n dont forget to post pictures
