Smile Should I lower my Pana on 22's?

I would like to hear from people who have lowered their cars before and their experience on what the outcome was, hard ride, rubbing etc....., So considering this would be my first time lowering any of my cars, I would like to go in this knowing what to expect, thanks in advance....H&R would be my choice as well....

We've dropped many cars with 22" and the h&r springs...works just fine!

The ride will certainly going to be harsher. Also, go with a reputable wheel brand or the brand that has previously had made some 22" wheels for a Panamera. This way you can be sure that your setup is not overly aggressive and rubs.

This shouldn't even be a question! Almost every car looks better lowered and some nice wheels!

Def lower your car. They look 10x better lowered. Respectively of course...

I thought I would never lower a car but I tried it in 2003 and have lowered every car since then. The key is to choose springs that only drop 1-1 1/2 and have spring rates only 5-10% harsher than stock. Next is to select wheels and tires that are more aggressive than stock but not so aggressive in fitment that they cause problems. I have trouble free driving on both the cars I have now and wouldn't have it any other way.
