Lowerlink Nay or Yah?

Ok, I have a set of lowerlink here. I am still debating about install them or not. All I wanted is to have the "unloaded height" look while driving. I am just concern about the ride quality. A nay or a yah? Your opinion is appreciated. Thanks.

I would and do have them on my cayenne. Originally I lowered her it bit too much for comfort so had to raise her up a tad bit. It's an easy mod so if you don't like it you can always swap back.

My only concern was trying to figure out how much to lower the front versus the rear to keep with in factory specs.

Since the stock length is 87mm front and rear. If I do decide to install them. I'm thinking for the front 105mm and rear 104mm. It's about 1 inch difference in length from the stock. Thanks for the comments.

My stock links were not the same from front to rear, so not sure if it's different from turbo vs other cayenne models but that's the only issue I haven't really resolved.

to lower, you have to shorten the links iirc...also shortening about 8mm lowers the car about 35mm.....which i find a little too bouncy in sport level

My links go longer makes the car lowered. Shorter makes the car higher...


I'll re measure my oem links when I get my car back but I'm pretty sure the overall length of the links from from to rear are different.

Well..did it. Installed the lowerlinks. On my original link it measured out 87.5mm front and rear. I added 5mm more to the lowerlinks as instructed on the manual. Total length is 92.5mm.

So basically I lowered an inch. Ride quality on sport mode is a little stiff. Comfort feels good. Standard mode I don't feel that much of difference with sport mode. I think the setup is just right. Any lower you probably can feel every bump on the road.

I might need an alignment. When I took my hands off the steering wheel on the freeway. I notice the car started to subtly steered toward the right. It was an easy modify. If I get tired of the setup I can always put the OEM back.

I didn't have to take the wheels off for the front. But I had to for the rear.
