How much did it cost all in for H&R springs + install + recalibration? My friend at a shop is seeing 4.5hrs to install just the front in his system so it would end up being $2-3k just to lower it.

That can't be right. Maybe he's looking at replacing air springs?

For those that have lowered their E3 Cayenne - Is there enough adjustment in the factory eccentric suspension bolts to bring the alignment back into specification as lowering a Cayeñne with H+R springs looks more like a 50mm drop than the specified 35mm drop.

+1

I wish there were springs that offered -20mm drop, that would be about perfect for most ppl.

I did the H&R springs on my 22’ Cayenne Coupe about 8mo ago and haven’t had any issues. Ended up being about $400 for the springs, $1000 for install and $600 for an alignment at Porsche. I think they look great but the ride is comparable to a 911 (stiffer).

Thanks for posting the pics

two bits of good news , the H+R springs make it sit perfectly and the correct alignment can be achieved with the stock adjustment bolts.

How do you find the ride? I put lowering springs on our E2 Diesel Cayenne and it rode decently well. When I lowered our SQ5, it was terrible.

it reminds me of seeing a fat man climbing out of his corvette - something doesn’t quite compute. but if you want a big a$$ low suv, you want it.

Those wheels look fantastic on a black car. Such a transformation!

Those are 21" or 22" wheels?

Love the look of a slightly lowered vehicle but hate the sacrifice in ride quality that comes with lowering springs, especially H&R given my past experience.
