Lowering panamera 4s with Coil suspension


I’m looking to buy coilovers for my 2011 panamera 4s and was wondering if anyone on here has any suggestions? Otherwise i was thinking about lowering springs but am worried i will blow out my struts. Car has 43k PFA

I'm lowered on H&R springs with the factory PSAM and have no issues with struts. It's a mild drop and should be fine for what you have. I never investigated coilovers for the panny as they may be over kill for a car that is almost perfect from the factory for a family sports car.

Thanks, if you dont mind me asking how many miles are on the springs now and how many were on the car when you put them on?

I'm just shy of 60K on the car and the springs have been on for about 12K or so, pretty much since I picked up the car 2 years ago.

what size wheels are you running...
And how is the ride for comfort

I am on 22s with 30mm sidewalls - find the handling of the car very good but now im a bit bouncy too much when pushing hard into corners - was looking at h&r springs to help tighten the increased roll it feels like

I'm on 20s and I find the ride to be perfect. It feels very stock but slightly firmer and definitely lower. The springs helped reduced the roll and overall performance.
