Drop Links and Air Suspension
Recently put some drop links on my Cayenne. Honestly, they suck. Car goes down the road bouncing like a "Low Rida." Car wont reach lowest position anymore and this may be due to the extreme lengths that I have them at.
Does anyone know what length works best from center ball to center ball? I'm currently at 95mm as where the factory is at 70mm.
Also, has anyone used a longer length up front and a shorter length in the rear to make the car sit right? My car always looks like its dragging butt.
Thanks for everyone's input.

Throw them out they are garbage on the cayenne.
I also tried the cargraphic module. A little better but still not a solution imo. Rode poorly over potholes and the auto speed mph raise and relower only functioned when it wanted to. Zero tech support from cargraphic also. This is the same as the h&r module so spare yourself the aggravation.

Thanks Westsiderkg,
I have made some adjustments and feel that I may have the correct length now. Once i have the front and rear sitting right, I'll draw them up and print them using some high strength material.
I'm still interested in a few of the modules that are on the market though. I believe that the Techart module has an auto drop feature once you leave the car.

I am sure you just need to tune it out with the links.
Like any suspension, if you go too low. It rides bouncy and hits the bump stops.
Let us know the measurement of your findings.
I will share mine when i get them in a few weeks.

Thanks Edman951,
I did 78mm in the rear and 90mm in front.
Not the perfect setting. At this length, I'm still slightly riding the bumper on the airbag while in the 2nd lowest setting.
Car sits very well (front lower) and drives perfect in the middle setting.
Look forward to your feedback and settings.
