H&R Sport Springs

Has any installed H&R Sport Springs (non Air Suspension) on a 958 Cayenne? What are your overall impressions? Happy with it?

OK, after doing a search I see that several people have them... Although, all of the posts look to be within a few days of having them installed. After having them on for a decent period of time / miles, are you still happy with them?

I'm very interested in this as well.
Also, is the 1.5" drop noticeable visually?

From the pics I've seen by doing a search, there's a visible difference.

I'm having a set installed next week and will post some before and after pics, I've also looked around for reviews after a period of time of having the springs installed but haven't found any.

GREAT! I'm actually having a set installed on Thursday, so will post some pics as well... was just hoping to hear from a few people that had been running them for a while before I had them installed.

2011 V6, I was thinking about doing the springs last Fall but with so little info out there I wussed out, then a couple weeks ago I saw another Cayenne with the air suspension all the way lowered and thought it looked great so I'm hoping the springs will make it look similar, I think at the very worse the ride will stiffen up a bit but it can't be that bad

A local shop that works on German cars said they would install the springs for $600 cash (dealer wanted $1200) and then ill take it to the dealer for the alignment and re-installation of my turbo II wheels which they store for the winter.

Now my interest is piqued too. I have 2013 C6 with 18" wheels & base suspension. My first order of business is to get 20" wheels & lowering springs. Hopefully ride won't suffer with base suspension & sport springs. Can't wait for u guys to post some pics. Perhaps I might get springs done before 20" aftermarket wheels.

Had the springs installed yesterday, haven't had a chance to take pics yet (will try and get some up today), but there is a noticeable visual difference, and it has a stiffer / sportier feel in the corners I did a before / after measurement, and it lowered it by 1.25".

So far I'm very pleased with the upgrade... I'll try and remember to post a follow up in a few months once they've gotten some miles on them.
