Default GTS lowered by dealership

I had the dealership lower my GTS by 15MM. It took them an hour and the techs said they even went around with a measuring tape to ensure it was perfect on all corners. There is very very minimal ride difference.
The picture is on the low setting.

That looks perfect. Was this just with PIWIS software? I can't seem to get any of my local dealers to be willing to do this. What were the magic words to get them to do this?

Yes it was PIWIS. I just asked and they said if possible they will try. The tech told me they had lowered a couple Cayennes, but I was the first Macan.

I'm super jealous. I would gladly pay a dealer $300 to do this. Please update if you come across an PASM errors. Thanks!

Barely any...perhaps 5% stiffer.

Called another dealer in Texas and they said they can't do it with just PIWIS software. Bah!

Just curious - what are the measurements (in inches) from the floor to the edge of the fenders passing through the center of the wheels
for the Low setting?

Thx!

Harsany,
That looks perfect exactly what I am after.

i have a Turbo, I think your GTS low position , OEM IS 10mm lower than mine.
So if I ask for 25mm drop should be a match, correct ?

thanks.
