Default Euro springs for 991S?

Do OEM, Euro-spec springs exist for the 991S with Sport PASM? I was at the track earlier in the week and saw a new Cayman S with a perfect track stance. It was clearly lower than stock--not slammed Civic low, but GT3 Cup car low. I asked the owner if he had put on coilovers, and he said he just had the lower, Euro-spec springs installed, which allowed him to maintain PASM functionality. Does such an option exist for the 991S with Sport PASM?

I think the fastest way to figure this out is to check PET to see if there are different p/n's for RoW vs.
N.A cars...

this was certainly the case with earlier models M030 RoW & N.A springs.

Curious also. If they exist, would love to grab them.

Makes sense though. Have a GTI as a DD, and euro GTI's are lower than the US spec.

Maybe drop Suncoast or gert carnewal - an email - they are probably the most knowledgable...

the info is in PET but decoding it is the hard part

note that there might also be a different shock and PASM controller

My informal research regarding lowering my own non-PASM Carrera found PASM springs are -10mm, SPASM another -10mm, and various aftermarket springs another -10mm which is about the same as GT3 height. No "euro spec" shorter sport spring for the 911 AFAIK.
