I want to lower my truck a few inches. Which springs do I want and how much can I expect them to reduce height.

Do I want HR, Eibach, others?

I guess you have "Steel Springs" and not the "Air Suspension"?

SterlingE

Correct. I have the steel brings and want to discard them and lower the vehicle a few inches.

Cargraphic is made by HR, Techart is made by Eibach. I had techart on my previous S I find the Techart handling very good but kinda bouncy on rough roads. I suggest you try the H&R springs must have a better ride quality. Good luck, you should order HR from tirerack, very cheap. Labor will be high prob around $350-$500 depends on the shop.

I've done the same to the ROAD RUNNER (Cayenne project) while lowering, PLEASE be careful not to drop the car that hard off the block...your self-levelling lights might go wonky...so do that slowly... many of my friends have had to get that aspect fixed

i put the eibach springs, did the job but now going to order the KW coilover system, the truck bounces back to much off of potholes and dips and in montreal the roads are tough, other than that the lowering effect and handling on the hwy is great....there is a huge dfference in price, coilovers are approx. $2800 plus about $600 install, spring $325 plus about $400 install...good luck.

Trozen, try contacting 969 motorsport for the KW's they can prob give you a good price

Put the HR's on mine and it rides a lot better.........not so harsh anymore.

I think there was another thread about this.....gonna look for it

charlieXS

Yeah, seems some think H&R are harsh, some think they're comfy....odd.
