Anyone have experience with the H&R springs? They are supposed to moderately lower the car (1.2-1.3 inches F/R) and improve ride.

They existing in 2 different versions

- 30 mm and - 40 mm

Qualitity is good like almost everything from H+R.

About the comfort of driving it depends on your wheel / tire set up. I am using Eibach springs - 35m with 295/30/22 wheels. The truck has an excellent handling but the comfort is gone. You will feel it if you driving on bad roads. Off road i didnt even think about.

took the plunge and ordered Bilstein HD's and the H&R springs. i'm running 18' turbo wheels, so the modest drop will be welcome. hope to install them this weekend and will report on ride and handling -

installed the new shocks and springs. drop in ride height is subtle, but noticeable. initial ride impressions are good. it seems to have eliminated the jouncy/brittleness. i'll post some pics and some more ride impressions at the end of the week. (special thanks to Bart's Motor Works - best german car mechanic in MD!)

Here are the after/before pics which show the subtle drop in ride height. Overall, couldn't be more pleased with the ride. Compliant but well damped. No more stiff-legged feel, and much less up and down ride motions. Would certainly recommend the upgrade or update to any other Cayenne owner with steel springs and regular shocks. :) Install was very straight forward, too.
