Smile Help - PASM / SPASM

So, yes ... I've independently researched, and tried to figure this out - to no avail. I have a 2014 Turbo S Cabriolet ... does that come with PASM, or SPASM? Can anyone put this into rookie (first time Porsche owner) terms, and lend some guidance?

I mean, the car has no SPASM or PASM option.

Hmm ... further confusion . What is the difference between the two? Further research tonight clearly shows PASM as a standard option on Turbo S cars. It is listed in the brochure, and on my window sticker.
What the heck is SPASM? Is it an upgrade or option on Turbo S cars, and if so, what does it do above PASM?

what i meant was you can't choose S-PASM. Turbo or Turbo s only has PASM. SPASM gives you firmer suspension and lower ride height.

FWIW...SPASM is not an option either, on cabs or targa's in the regular 991 series.....additional 10MM drop from PASM.

Wish the Turbos had it.

Well, there you have it. Mystery solved ... thanks, guys.

Now, the question is - why wouldn't Porsche offer this as an option on their premier product, in the line? Weird, yes? What about the non-turbo 991's would make this a fit for them, and not the turbos?

Are the turbos already lowered more than a non-turbo?

If my 991 TTS had S-PASM, then I wouldn't be able to pull into my driveway!

LOL - yeah, I get it. I thought it was a configurable switch that you could turn on, or off.
