Cayenne Turbo Lowering Cheap!
#48
Just installed my drop links couple days ago with 5 turns which yielded roughly 2 inch drop all the way around. The ride on the 'low' setting is pretty unbearable, but looks awesome parked
I drive it on the 'normal' setting and the ride is much better, although still pretty rough compared to stock. I may adjust it back up 1/2 inch just so I don't suffer the ride quality. Also, I realized that 'load' level' no longer works, it looks like it just keeps trying to adjust with the arrows on the dash pointed down but it never says 'load level reached' anyone else experience this after they installed the links?
These pics are in low setting.

Captain Tal- do you remember how many turns you did or how low in inches? I don't see how the ride could not be affected unless it was barely lowered. Does your load setting still work?

I just installed these last night. Heres my experience:
-First time installed, turned them all the way to the longest setting. Started the car, and the car wouldn't even lower itself.. gave me an error. I called John, who I bought it from and he told me to adjust them again to the shortest setting and restart the car to take the fault off. Once the car reset itself again I readjusted. He suggested 10mm to the lengthen it.
-Put it on the car this time 18 turns (1 turn is about 1 mm). It gets CRAZY low on this setting when you get in the car and put the air suspension to the 2nd lowest level, up from loading.
-I think I'm going to readjust them to somewhere between 10mm-15mm.
Right now the car drives nicely in the middle setting of the cars air suspension. Going lower than that is really damn bumpy.
Overall, sick product!! I love it.

These links do nothing to affect ride quality on air suspension. The "stiffness" of the shock is soley dependent on the air pressure in the system controlled by the ride setting, not the height.This presumption might prove invalid should you unwisely find yourself at lowest limits of travel on the shock. These links merely raise or lower the set point of the system from which the sytsem falsely recognizes as the factory level set by Porsche to effect road clearance.
I set my ride 5/8" lower up front and 1/2" at the rear.

My ride quality has indeed suffered, but I went with 18mm up front and 17 in the rear. 1 turn is about 1mm. The truck looks great..., but Im going to change it to 10 turns because of comfort. Currently, my rear wheels are facing inwards way bad.. haha.
