991 GTS - Easy PASM Question
Looking at ordering a GTS. The Porsche configurator lists PASM as an option and allows you to select it. However, in the standard features it lists PASM.
What gives? Is PASM standard on a 2WD GTS or not?
Thanks!

Shorter higher rate springs and stiffer roll bars.
Lowers the car by 10mm from the PASM hight and provides what I regard as better steering feel, slightly less roll, higher cornering limits and fills the wheel wells with the tires.
The ride is a bit stiffer but no less supple. A bit more caution is needed for sharply sloping driveways, but it is no big deal when you are used to it.
For the cost a huge bargain.

PASM Sport, or "SPASM", renders the car 10mm lower than regular PASM, as Chuckbdc has explained above. Some prefer the lowered look and the ride quality of SPASM, while others do not. You should test-drive both. You live in Stuttgart, and I think you can test-drive both easily.

Regular PASM is standard on the GTS... SPASM (PASM Sport Suspension) is an option as described above. I was wondering about this as well but figured it out eventually.

On my C2S with SPASM, the spoiler goes up another couple of inches when the sunroof is open.
Not sure how fast one has to go for the "aero trim" effect to be significant, but it gets a grin every time I see it happen.

If you choose Sport Design with the ducktail, then there is no moveable rear spoiler right?
