Default Air Suspension Lowering Module

So I got my hands on a used Sportec lowering module for the Cayenne.
My issue is the previous owner did not install it himself and does not have the installation instructions.
Anyone have these or knowledge of what to splice into?
Thanks all.

I would like to publically extend my thanks to Scott Fiesinger, ther owner of Rival Motorsport. He got in touch with me and was able to provide a PDF document of the installation instructions. Fantastic guy and truly helpful. A personal plug (as long as it's ok with the mods) for www.rivalmotorsport.com . From my understanding they are the only authorized US Sportec dealer.

Been a bit busy at the office, though I hope to be hooking it up this weekend. We'll see what the "honey-do" list looks like.

I am interested as well (no, not because I might install one in my Cayenne....wait, where IS my Cayenne?).
There have been very few posts for this part (and the similar ones from other vendors like Cargraphic) and there has been some tire wear/alignment issues reported after installing these modules and driving at speed at the lowest (and nicest looking) settings.
No idea if they were caused by the module or simply due to the first alignment #'s for the Cayenne being 'off a bit'...hence updated alignment specs.

I think the main issue with tire wear would be the increase in negative camber due to the lower ride height (not that tire wear in a completely stock configuration is that great). I figure after it's installed it would be wise to get an alignment done with the suspension set to its lowest setting to maximize tire life. Hopefully I can report back after the weekend.
