yes, you can go as low as you like. for the 958 you just have to make the link longer than factory and it will go lower, shorter = higher. any cars with air suspension, doesn't matter if you go module or links, etc. the lower you go and more air you take out of the bag, the bouncier the car gets. this picture is at low setting, when I put it to normal, it now sits at oem low height on normal. all the height levels still function. I tried 0-1 finger gap driving around for a few days, but I didn't like the ride. if I was 5-10 years younger I prob wouldn't care and drive it like that. after I lowered it, I did do the alignment, surprisingly all the camber was still in spec (green) and only one front and one rear needed slight toe adjustment. I always drive it on low and got the alignment done on low setting. if you drive on normal, once you pass a certain speed the car will auto lower and your alignment will not be correct. if you keep it on low it will not move.

just installed my links and noticed the cayenne won't go into loading setting any longer. it flashes like its trying but just won't set and I hear the system trying. curious if anyone else run into this issue w/ the links? I set the links to 8mm (the lowest setting recommended by the manufacture of the links) so not sure if I'm just to low already but wanted to verify with other link users.

on a side note, i leave the car on the 2nd lowest setting (one below normal) and everything seems to be fine. going to give it a days and see how the ride is before getting alignment.

I had that issue when I installed links on my 957. I also have the same issue with my H&R module. But with another H&R module it would just keep flashing. Where as mine says suspension system failure. My low level now is lower then load level. So when I try to goto load level it lowers slightly but is now completely air'd out and on my Cayenne it doesn't like that. I don't worry about load level now. On my 957 with the links I adjusted them to where I liked my low level at. If I parked and wanted it to look slammed Id go to load level and as the truck stopped lowering I'd shut the truck off. No worries when restarting. The one thing that is great with the module is that once I go over 45mph ride level is not as low for ride comfort. There would be no way I would enjoy the ride if it lowered more then low level after 130mph. And it would probably show suspension system failure. Sometimes I wish it didn't lower to low level after 80mph depending on the roads.

Don't forget the truck lowers at these speeds. So take that into mind when adjusting the links etc......

I think you just lowered it a little too much, my loading level still works as well as all my other levels.
