Sport suspension is 10mm lower.

SPASM gives a lower center of gravity and less overall mass motion with its shorter, stiffer springs, so the car should feel a bit more firm than with PASM alone. At the limit it should generate higher cornering forces.
If I recall the Porsche 991.1 marketing material correctly, SPASM and PDCC got around the Nurburgring 13 second faster than cars without, 7 seconds of which were due to PDCC and 6 seconds to SPASM.

SPASM also has a more pronounced black plastic front spoiler lid.

Right from the brochures.
991.1
PASM Sport Suspension The PASM Sport Suspension is available as an option for all Coupe models The ride height is 0.79 of an inch (20 mm) lower than the standard 911 Carrera suspension, and 0.39 of an inch (10 mm) lower than the PASM suspension. The springs are harder and shorter, and the antiroll bars on the front and rear axles are stiffer. Front spoiler lip and rear spoiler control are revised to further reduce lift at the front axle and even provide downforce at the rear axle. The improved aerodynamics provides even better performance.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) PDCC, an option available on the 911 Carrera S and Carrera 4S models, is an active anti-roll system that reduces lateral body movement during cornering. With this system, hydraulic stabilizing actuators located at each wheel actively optimize wheel camber, their action moderated based on steering angle and lateral acceleration. The result is more stable lateral load transfer, sharper turn-in, and improved dynamic performance. PDCC is also helpful in minimizing the car’s lateral instability over uneven ground and in emergency maneuvers requiring sudden steering inputs. In simple terms, the vehicle holds the road better and you can steer through corners faster and in a more relaxed manner with greater ride comfort. In this way, PDCC contributes to a new benchmark in dynamic performance.
991.2
PASM sports suspension. The PASM sports suspension is available as an option for the S Coupé models. The ride height is 10 mm lower than with the PASM suspension. The springs are harder and shorter, and the anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles are stiffer. The front spoiler lip has an even sportier geometry, the rear spoiler extends even more. Not only does this further reduce lift at the front axle, it also provides downforce at the rear axle for improved aerodynamics and even better performance – combined with a surprisingly high level of comfort.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC). PDCC – optional for all S models in conjunction with rear-axle steering – is an active anti-roll system that suppresses lateral body movement during cornering manoeuvres. In addition, it minimises the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground. The results are improved dynamic performance, even more neutral handling and increased ride comfort – whatever the speed. In simple terms, the tyres and vehicle hold the road better and you can steer through corners faster and in a more relaxed manner. Which is why PDCC sets standards for driving performance, ride comfort – and driving pleasure.
