Lift Kit / Off Road Mods 2015 Macan S
Anyone put a lift kit in their Macan? I want to lift the suspension about 4 inches on my 2015 Macan S.
The overall goal: transforming my Macan to an off-road SUV. I’d like to add aftermarket exterior lights, front bumper bar, and rails as well.
Any guidance or advice?

Based on my experience, the Macan is not very good off-road. Now the furthest I've gone off-road in my '23 S was a deep rutted gravel road and it sucked. Off-road mode helped a little with the increased clearance, but these are performance SUVs, not off-road SUVs. The Cayenne is considerably more capable. I go off-roading on a regular basis, and for that I use my 2021 LR Defender. That is a proper 4x4. The Macan was designed to be the ultimate street/track CUV, and doing a lift or off-road tires pretty much defeats the purpose of the vehicle and it will drive considerably worse. Besides, you'd want a dedicated low range gear and at least a center locking diff (rear lockers are even better) if you're doing anything more than a light trail. My two cents - get a proper 4x4. But hey, it's ultimately up to you and its your car. Enjoy it!

Was a little surprised that Eurowise didn't seem to have anything for the Macan as they seem to be the go-to for Cayenne's.
Eurowise has done some Macan builds in the past that I found online but they only quote "Custom 45mm lift Kit', I couldn't find more detail.
Some other lifted Macan ****:
