Got if. I think tech art has a kit, I'm also going to ask
the dealer. I like the stance an reduced wheel arch
gap on the 991. would just like to see it a bit lower
like the sport PSM equipped cars
I posted some before and after pics ou spacers in this forum a few weeks
ago of anyone wants to see pics, just search
cheers

Oh sorry! Thought it did after a lot of forum discussions on the370z forum I still use. People there said it adds a bit of negative camber. Thinking about it now I take back my statement, as I don't really see the angle of the tire changing, just pushed out a little. Maybe the distance between the axle and the wheel may change the angle a bit when there is heavy load on the tire? But if so changes would be negligible.

Wheel spacers will result in a wider track. With a wider track, there is an increase in the resistance to weight transfer for the same cornering force so the car might roll less and you might need a bit less camber. However, with a 5mm spacer, I think the differences are so small that it may not make a different in real life.

Default Here are my before and after pics

7 mm front, 15mm rear, poics dont really do it justice.
Im thinking of some springs to give it more of the sport PASM stance, maybe drop the front 1.25" and the rear 1" to reduce the fender gap

I am not sure what you said it correct. I just checked the Porsche USA site. There is only one PASM Sport suspension, which lowers the car 10mm than regular suspension. I did not see any other PASM suspension.

H&R has springs that lowers about 25mm.

Chuck is right. 3 suspensions.
Regular
PASM 10mm lower than regular
Sport PASM 10mm lower than PASM

ok. just double checked. that is only on Regular Carrera.

Regular PASM is not an option on Carrera S. Does it mean Carrera S already is on PASM?
