Two 2011 Cayenne S

Here're a few pictures of my brother's yellow S and my Meteor Gray S. Both cars have PASM, however his has the air suspension and pictures were taken with his on one notch below normal setting. He's got 20" wheels with 275 tires while mine has been lowered with H&R springs w/ 20x10 aftermarket wheels on 295 tires. His doesn't have wheel arch extension while mine does. BTW yellow looks A LOT BETTER in person and make the car appear to be much smaller. I have the base seat while he has the 14 way seat and I must say his is a lot more comfortable as the lumber support pushes you away from the back of the seat cushion which dig into my tail bone but adding a little padding in the base of the seat back should fix this issue. Both engines sound kind of coarse and I was told this is normal.

Enjoy...

not a fan of the wheels, i think could look amazing with something a little more simple on there but they look great, and yours looks the same height as his after the springs.


as far as the H&R springs, do you notice much difference in ride at all? did you drive the car much before them to even notice a difference, curious..

what color interiors do you guys have? yours looks grey?

I am interested on your thoughts with the springs as well. I don't have air suspension either and was wanting to lower mine when it arrives next month

H&R Lowering Springs

The H&R springs ride just fine as I didn't notice my significant difference in ride smoothness after the spring swap. One thing to note is that H&R says the springs would give 1.25" drop but the actual drop is more like 2" plus. Not that I'm complaining though as the amount of drop is about perfect. I have PASM also and the ride in Normal is perfect while Comfort is a little wobbly a bit as if the rebound damping is dialed way down and not able to control body motion as well as Normal. Sport setting is still livable and much softer when compared to the sport setting in my 997.1 Turbo's. I will never use Comfort for on road use and may be it'd be good for off-road use which I have not tried at all. Overall I'm very very happy with the way the SUV rides and handles and power is more than adequate for any street driving. Only one problem is that I just came back from the gas station and the fill-up costed $99 and change. Ouch……...

i assume the 11's are a new part number or are they the same as before (maybe why the drop is more, if they are same part number)

Thanks for the feedback. I was told that it would drop it 1.25" as well.
Don't complain about the fuel price we are paying $140 odd for a fill here
