Question Safe and easy way to lower my Cayenne S?

I have 20" Gemballa wheels and this is how the car looks right now... and it seems like the gap between the wheel and car is just a little too big. I don't want to close the gap completely, but maybe just lowered it like an inch or two to decrease the gap a little. Is there a safe and easy way for me to lower the car? Would switching to H&R or Eibach springs do the trick? Thanks.

Springs will get you a 1.2" drop from the H&R's... very subtle actually.

That might be the subtle drop I want...
But is it safe to only change the springs to lower the car?
Would that put too much pressure on the struts?

perfectly safe and acceptable. Some people even say the ride is smoother and better on HR springs.

Anyone know of a reliable place in SoCal to install H&R springs? Thanks...

thsiao - If you do lower the Cayenne with the HR springs, how about giving us a before and after photo. I'd like to see what it looks like.

Thanks!
