Hi all, new Panamera 4 owner here. I've been lurking on this website for a while getting some information prior to my purchase. Still many questions I have hope you guys can help me with. I chose the V6 version because cars here are ridiculously expensive...the cost for a V6 here is more than buying two S back in the states.

I ordered the 21" Techart Formula wheels (road condition not suitable for 22") with P-Zero tyres and will lower the car. It doesn't have air suspension so I'll go with springs. I worry that the drop in H&R springs will not be low enough and still leave a huge gap between the wheel and the fender, anyone has experience with this set up? Also, will it rub with 21" lowered with H&R springs? How will it affect the TPM?

Other than H&R springs, what other spring options do I have?

Lastly, anything I should be aware of getting new wheels and lowering the car?

Thanks a lot!

 

H&R springs were installed and then aligned on the 2011 v6 panny. Car runs perfect with no issues.

 

I was told H&R springs will leave about 1.5 finger in front and 1 finger in rear of space to fender. I was also told if you want to flush it = no finger space, you can remove the rubber stoppers and that will do the trick. It should not rub 21" nor effect the TPMS. Unfortunately no other options for lowering now beside the springs and lowering module if you have air suspension. I have the springs but my car is not here yet.

 

People differ in their opinions but I believe having "a finger" amount of space between your tire and your fender is just about optimum. Any lower you will have rubbing issues.

 

I agreed, usually one finger space all around gives an elegant look...for me i like it flush i.e. no finger space
