My car has PDCC and PASM (not SPASM). I want to lower it slightly to get the SPASM ride height. Purely cosmetics (I succumbed to peer pressure).

I know many owners have lowered their car, but I'm not aware of anyone with PDCC that has done it. Any reason to believe that PDCC and lowering springs would present an issue?

TIA,

DaveGee

since you can spec PASM-S w/PDCC (as I recall) I dont think there should be a concern, I believe that
despite the drop of an additional 10mm over PASM this change should not effect any of the PDCC physical connections (like length of droplink etc) to the rest of the suspension, since the springs are
above the mechanism in question.

but this is simply supposition on my behalf.

I have PDCC and installed techart lowering springs. I needed to get my PDCC recalibrated at the dealer after installing them as I was getting some funky noises after my install. Also, elephant racing has a detailed install of their sleeve system on a car with PDCC. So it's not an issue

Larry Cable

what did the recalibration entail? s/w or h/w?

@Larry

All Software AND you def need an alignment ASAP. I know some people talk about "settling" springs, but they don't really settle once you roll around for a few feet.

Also it's good to tighten down the sway bar linkage etc, as they can loosen during spring install.
