Default Switching to PASM *from* SPASM?

Some people might yell at me for asking, but hey, I only checked that box on my 718 GTS order because of a noob misunderstanding. Is it just a question of swapping springs? It sounds like it would be less involved than on a 911, but finding details is challenging. If it's a major ordeal, I'm sure I'll just deal with the extra bumper scratches... It looks cool, at least! And I will be tracking...

I've only had my GTS w/ SPASM for a month, but have found it not that big of a deal. The car still is higher than my GT3 (which I need go use the front lift when entering/exiting my driveway). When I have scrapes its from the air dams in front of the front tires, both of these are wear items that are easily replaced when needed. Even my 981S would scrape on these air dams.

I just measured clearance of the front bumper is 6 1/2" on the GTS compared to 4 1/4" on the GT3.

Oh wow, that's actually much better than I thought it'd be. My last car's bumper (M235i) was only 1/4" higher. I won't bother looking into switching to PASM then. Thanks for checking!
