Sold my Cayenne S today. Too good a deal to pass up. I kept the Cayenne S Springs. Maybe next week I will try and see if the fluff wagon will take kindly to some Porsche springs. I actually like the 4.2 FSI in "Sport" more than the Porsche 4.5. The Q7 steel suspension is way too soft for me though. The Eibach Pros really transformed the cornering of the Cayenne S. Hoping the Stock S springs will do my Q a similar increase. Some T Reg dudes did the spring swap in the past for happier results.

i believe you have to do change in pairs changing the rear alone did not yield noticeable results. (again this is with adaptive suspension people with standard steel suspension may other results.)

Update: I turned the S and Q7 for some good coin and picked up a couple Tregs to mess with being comfortable with the cross-platform. Also, want to see what R32 motor tricks I could pull off. Anyway, the Cayenne S springs are gold. They will fit on the Treg or Q7. The dampers may have a different settings, but by the seat of the pants they match. The Treg springs are a smaller gauge wire and VW compensates with more coils. I have been using them on a V6 Touareg with 50K miles on the original dampers for 5K and it transformed the vehicle. There was no marked lowering below 1/2 an inch. Put on just the S rear bar and this car is handling just how I want for its intended road purposes. Q was awesome, but I made $22K from the sale ($15K from the Cayenne sale) and am surprisingly happy driving the almighty parent moniker. No 1%er hate/rage on the road in the Treg. I believe FI is in the future now. Brakes, Suspension, and Leistung 2ndary testpipe in place. Always fond of sleepers that spank over-confidence. Take care all. Won't be back for awhile.
