Ok I did some research. H&R makes the DR series (requires longer bolts b/c spacers are sandwiched between hub and wheel) and the DRA series (spacers are bolted to hub independently, and original wheel bolts are used to bolt wheels onto the spacers). DRA is higher-end and said to be safer. Only problem is you cannot check the torque while wheels on the car.
H&R doesn't make DRA for Q7 application though. I noticed they do have 30mm or larger DRA series spacers for Cayenne application. I guess they aren't listed for Q7 application because they feel 30mm is too wide a spacer for Q7s?
I will try to call H&R tomorrow and ask if one can use DRA series listed under Cayenne application a Q7.

Thanks sharks, would like more info as well. On the other series they say you will need longer bolts. Do they sell them as well? Havent found the spacers much cheaper than their MSRP price either. Looking forward to update.

Ended up getting H&R ones with longer bolts (not the DRA series which are only available in 30mm and above for our chassis).
I am away at the moment but I shall arrange for my Q7 to be dropped off at the shop to have them spacers and lowering springs installed prior to my return. I shall post some pics when they are done.

Sounds good, looking forward to pics. Were the bolts from H&R also? Not finding alot of info out there. When you post pics, if you could supply part numbers etc, that would be great.
