Macan T ... going through some personal touches

[Plyphon]

Love the wheels, and love the stance with the spacers - looks a touch more aggressive for sure. I wonder what that does to turning circle and general handling.

Not a huge fan of the tinted fronts, but I respect your choices here, I can see the murdered out appeal.

I'd suggest, if you're going the whole hog, to lower it too. The base Macan really does ride too high. I've seen a lowered Gen 3 GTS and that looked sick enough for me to research into how to do it with the air ride (turns out, pretty simple) - but I never followed through.

The only thing I object too is called a Base a T - A T is more than just the body styling. It has a different suspension, dampening and rollbar setup which comes from the GTS.

Wouldn’t you just lower yours by pressing “low” on your air button??
I know I did and then just left it there from day one until the day I moved it on.

To be fair, in the early days of this forum (many years before the Macan T was thought of) some contributors did indeed refer to the base Macan as the 2.0 T.

I think it's refreshing to read threads like these rather than the usual 'what do you think of my new car spec?' or ' what colour shall I go for?'

Definitely needs lowering. Does it have PASM? Bilstein do a kit which will lower it and I think h&r might do lowering springs. Not sure about Kw?

Or you could go full on and fit an air kit. Have you seen s80bmx's Macan?

I think coloured porsche crest on alloys would look good too

Haha, so -

What I mean is, you can 'set' those points where the air ride will level too (Low, normal, offroad) via what's called a droplink. It's a fairly trivial swap to change out the stock droplinks for aftermarket, but you need a ramp ideally.

If you put a shorter droplink in, the air ride computer basically think it's reached the correct height at a lower overall height. So your entire setting across the ranges is lower.

I saw a GTS that had a 20mm drop in all settings, and in 'low' it truly looked badass.

These are the droplinks:

I still might do it one day, you can do it with a jack corner by corner on your driveway, but it's a bit fiddly. Design 911 claim they've never heard of a warranty refusal because of these links, but im sure Porsche would give it a go if anything came up.

Great idea I think it would look great lower - what about “warrantyphobia” though…

Yeh, I just edited my post to say i'm unsure on the warranty side

Each to their own. Not my taste but interested in the journey of these mods

The 2l is easily beefed up from 245 to around 300hp, that will add a bit of umph to the GTS ish look

And add hundreds to the insurance premium!
