Default H&R Springs Installed

So I spent the last few days installing my H&R Springs on the first of our two 17 macan S'. It wasn't the easiest thing to do but it isn't the hardest. The second car should go much faster ( like a single day ). Getting alignment this week. So far, very pleased with the way it sits. Will see how it drives and report back. Not low like the spyder, but doesn't look like a truckster anymore.

In all probability, it will fall within specs and not require adjustment. Ours didn't and so far, no unusual tire wear noted. Enjoy the ride!

I'm planning to get H&R springs too but I want to replace the shocks with Bilstein B6 also,
not sure if anyone has any experience over this combo.

So the second car took two partial days.

This thread made it all possible.

Both cars got alignment and are running great.

I can tell you I did my 22 and the ride was terrible and bouncy. The springs rode entirely on the bump stops. Some people cut the bump stops while H&R says you can't do that. Cutting the bump stops will make the ride better but you still have the issue of a shock not intended to ride that low in the stroke, we are taking maybe 1" of travel left in the shock with H&R springs. B6 + H&R is likely a better route but for a few bucks more it's better to go with PSS10's IMO.

I uninstalled the H&R's and put my stock springs back on.
