Default Lowering PASM equipped Cayman's
Any lowering springs available for PASM Cayman's?
I did a search for "lowering springs" "PASM".
I did see numerous threads for 997 cars, but nothing for Cayman.
Does the Cayman use the exact same springs as a Boxster S?

springs? yes. see http://www.championmotorsport.com/CAYMANRS98.htm
they told me the springs will work with both PASM and non PASM stuff.

also, PSS9 has a kit for PASM caymans.

I took a look at the Bilstein website and they don't have anything listed for the Cayman. Do you know of anyone who is actually selling the PSS9 kit for Caymans?

Orbit Racing lowered mine. I understand they are H&R springs. The car looks great and worked fine on the track. We are changing the bars next to get rid of a very hard push.

Pictures please. I'm guessing that putting on these H&R springs still allows you to use the sport button and firm the ride up and vice versa?

Default CAYMAN S lowered
Lowered by Orbit Racing using H&R Springs. It is only about an inch lower but looks so much better. First time sending pics, hope it works?

Thank you for the pics. How does it ride? Are they stiffer? I worry about them bottoming out at the track if they are too close to stock rates.
