Funny timing... I was just online looking for somewhere to order new stock links. I'm taking mine out too! The ride is too bumpy, even on comfort setting and middle ride height. I agree, the car feels unsafe at high speeds on the freeway.

I just wish the lowering modules weren't so damn expensive! If anyone is getting rid of a used one, let me know! ;-)

For anyone considering lowering I would advise not!

What about the Durametric route?

I read somewhere that lowering this way only made the North American spec Cayenne the same as stock Euro Cayennes (dunno why it would be different but apparently it is)

The PO installed the links on my GTS. I found out the stock links are not for sale individually. Only as part of the ride height sensor assembly.

I kept the lowering links and screwed them together to get the overall shortest length and reinstalled. The ride height is slightly lower than stock but it looks good and rides perfectly.
