Default For those that are lowered, how low are you ?

I lowered my 08 CTT with lowering links, now my CTT is ....

At Loading level

- Front from the floor to the bottom of the fender above the tire - 30.5"

- Back from the floor to the bottom of the fender above the tire - 31"

At Low level

- Front from the floor to the bottom of the fender above the tire - 31.5"

- Back from the floor to the bottom of the fender above the tire - 32"

At Normal level

- Front from the floor to the bottom of the fender above the tire - 32.5"

- Back from the floor to the bottom of the fender above the tire - 33"
.

What are your measurements and wheel / tires size ???

Lowered via durametric. No ride quality issues here, and it's pretty much on the bump stops at loading level

Love to have you post some measurements as I did above and some photos, I'm sure it looks great.

As far as the ride quality, its all in our own opinions, but no mater how its lowered the ride must be worse as you have greatly reduced your shock travel.

I'm having H&S springs installed on my 958 next week. Will post some before and after pics for all. Read online anywhere from 1.5"-2.0" drop on the 958 without loosing the PASM. We'll see.

So...got the cayenne back. Measured a 1.5 inch drop. Don't know if it will settle any, but it's a little lower and ride a little bit firmer. $1k installed and aligned, with parts. Overall happy, but would ideally like to be 3 inches lower total, but unfortunately there are no other options for those who have pasm.

You could always cut 1/2 - 1 full coil off the H&R springs, its pretty common.

Does your TPMS still work with 22" wheels?
