Looking for Lowering Springs

Any suggestions on Lowering Springs for a 2010 Base cayenne, I would like to keep the same ride (not firm it up) just lower the body.

Does replacing the springs VOID factory warranty?
I think I need 2" minimum. Can I do more?

I would go with KW V3 coilovers. I haven't heard of any springs out there that will lower you Cayenne that much. The V3's range of lowering is 1.5-2.9" in the front and 1.2-2.3" in the rear. For more information Click Here.
  • Damping technology with individually adjustable rebound- and compression technology
  • Stainless Steel "Inox-Technology"
  • Lowering range approved by the TÜV
  • High-quality components for long durability
  • Infinitely variable rebound damping adjustment
  • 14-way adjustable compression damping
  • Unique, individually working damping force adjustment
  • Comprehensive documentation for easy use

In Atlanta Georgia I found it to be from $450.00 to $600.00,now that does not include the alignment. Is it a $500.00 job? NO. Take a Toyota to get the same thing done and you would pay $300.00 tops for the same amount of work.

6 hours is kind of long, maybe that might be the dealer job time by book, but it doesnt take 6 hours to swap springs on a cayenne or any car. if a tech really takes 6 hours to complete the job they should find a new job or be fired. a good tech should be able to knock it out in 2-3 hours tops. c/o is a little more time consuming to get the height matched on all corners but not 6 hrs. ive seen springs on a e46 bmw done in 30 min. op it is a porsche, not a toyota. its not as easy to do. you can prob do 2 toyotas in the time it takes to do one pcar.

Ever tried an H1 Hummer?
Seriously though, the fronts on the Cayenne can be a big pain. I don't know of any shop that will charge less than 4 hours, regardless of how quickly they can get it done.

i completely agree with you, but it doesnt take 6 hrs. for ex: on a ferrari 430 ever seen how easy and fast it is to pull the c/o on that car is, but shops are going to charge what they charge i suppose. you gotta pay to play if you dont know how to do it yourself....
