Hey guys,

I just ordered the H&R springs for our Cayenne and they came in last week.

I could have sworn I saw a DIY on installing suspension for our 958's but I can't find it now. Anyone have that?

We do not have PASM or air suspension so it should be pretty straight forward. I'm pretty savvy with a wrench but are there any surprises or special tools that I need?

 

a professional grade spring compressor to remove the spring from the shock. other than that, if you're handy with a wrench and have some air tools (makes life easier), its pretty straight forward and you can tell what need to be loosened or removed to get the shock/spring out. even if you had pasm, all it has extra is a little electrical line at the top of the shock that you need to unplug to remove the shock.

I had these installed on Saturday by my local wrench that I've been going to for about 10 years and while it wasn't difficult, it was absolutely helpful to have a lift, air tools and (as you said) a commercial grade spring compressor. Looks and rides fantastic. I will get some pictures up soon.

I really wish I would have taken pictures/notes as we went along to make a DIY. But if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask and I can probably answer for you!

 

Congratulations on the new mod. Wish I was handy enough to work on my own cars.

 

How about an after pic?

 

Here ya go guys. Don't mind the dirty wheels. The black fender trim doesn't really help the appearance of being a little lower since they get lost in the shadows and just look like more fender gap.
