Default Lowering springs

Hello,
I've noticed limited options for lowering the newer body Cayenne. H&R makes some springs but I was hoping other manufacturers would be developing aftermarket solutions. Anyone lowered their Cayenne and any thoughts?

Thanks!!

I just picked up my ‘19 base yesterday and ordered the H&R springs as well. Primary goal is to simply reduce the wheel gap, and the drop should be close to the air system on low.

Very interested in hearing any feedback / pics from anyone that has had these installed on a 19 base. I am considering the same, also for the wheel gap and perhaps a touch of improved handling.

this is my first post on this site so forgive me if I seen like a noob but spending some time reading this thanks giving holiday, and I wanted to comment on this. I have had my '19 cayenne base for about a year, and soon after i got it i had the H&R lowered springs installed. I have to say the look is amazing. I love it without the gap. I did have a few issues i will share here though. The first is that I felt like the rear was just a little bit lower than level.... and for me, with three kids in sports, i always have extra gear in the back, and with weight, the rear looks like it's about a 1/2" lower than the front. but I quickly got over the minor rear difference. my next problem however was a bit of a nuisance... the cars ride was awful and felt like it was bottoming out on any little bump in the road.... after taking it back to the shop, they soon realized that the rear struts have internal bump stops that needed to be trimmed in order to allow for more travel on the dampers. and next day I was back on the road with a more sporty feel, and that lowered look that I wanted. then the next issue came up..... It didn't happen often, but soon after being lowered, i would get an occational error from PAS... and active cruise control wouldn't work... and other times I would get an error from windshield camera, and auto highbeams wouldn't work... all of this was intermitent, and soon became more and more troublesome.... about a month into the lowering, and daily driving, the warnings soon came on and stayed on. A trip to the dealer revealed that the altered ride height was causing a problem for both system. The solution at the dealer was to re calibrate both systems. and now I have been driving a lowered vehicle for about 9 more months, and no issues. total cost to get the systems re calibrated was about $750. If you ask would I do it again.... the answer would be yes. I absolutely love the way the car looks lowered. and the ride is a bit more sporty. that's my input.

If anyone can tell me how to post pics, I will post some pics of my car lowered.

I think these and downpipes aren't very common.
