PASM Sports suspension
Here in England (with our lousy roads) no one buys the sports suspension in part because our dealers say will kill resale value.
I'd be grateful if someone could please clarify:
1. Are there duel settings as with PASM - ie a sports button for even sportier setting?
2. How does the ride/handling compare between a 991 with sports suspension and an ordinary PASM car with sports setting activated?

I've gone for the SPASM option and live in London. Can't say I'm not worried, but have heard good reports on it and that front spoiler isnt bad either.
I figured it's worth getting the full performance available. Hopefully not at the expense of bumper damage!

And yes you get two settings just like standard PASM, with SPASM Normal being about halfway between the two standard settings.
ETA: Mine is a 997 (GTS) but would expect similar with 991.

Think you will be fine re kerbs. My 991 has plently of clearance re parking opposite kerbs.
The SPASM will look better. My car looks a bit like on stilts with too large a gap between top of wheel arch and tyre. Don't know why such a gap necessary since my GT3 RS had minimal gap and the ride not that bad.

Very much. I assume you are getting the chrono option and sports exhaust? With that lot on the car is sensational.
All this talk about loss of steering feel is making me fel inadequate because seems fine to me. I've not got PDCC and wonder if this is the difference.
I had PDCC on a Cayenne GTS and thought it insolated the driver from 'seat of the pants' feedback.
Steering certainly easier since minimal tramelining but I still love it!
Just wish I'd got the SPASM.
