Hi Everyone
After many years of looking. I've taken the plunge and headed away from BMW and bought a 2017 Macan Turbo
I've been looking on here for advice and information for some time.
So a big Thank you for that! You guys helped a lot.
I should be picking it up this week from Porsche main dealer. (can't wait)
New to Porsche
Thanks guys
I've not even got the car and already looking what there is out there to change things.
But Don't want to invalidate the warranty the dealer is giving. (are they very picky in looking for non standard parts?)
I liked the look of the Teckart air suspension module. Has any one fitted one?

I think I'll leave that then.

Drive it for a few thousand miles before you start tinkering with the fundamentals, I think you'll find Porsche know their stuff and even bog standard models are respectable in most ways. Enjoy!

Congrats.
You need to do nothing at all to the suspension, in fact nothing at all to the car unless you want to see an end of the warranty and its value take a massive hit for having non standard and non approved parts fitted.
It is a Turbo hence it has PASM as standard plus you have Sports Chrono so you have the best of all worlds.
The Porsche Active Suspension Management system will give you a very smooth ride as it is, dial in the Sports and Sports+ settings for even more dynamic response and it does not get any better.
If you want the low look with max handling then sorry you bought the wrong car, the Turbo PP was the one you should have chosen as that shares the suspension setup with the GTS which is always the sweet handling car in any Porsche model.
I have Porsche’s air suspension and it does give a smoother ride but not massively so compared to PASM only.
Enjoy it as is.

Col, why have you resurrected this 7 months on? Am I missing something?
