Are these height adjustable? I assume they are fixed height with the specs listed?

----NVM, I got confused with the spring loaded spec.

Yes they are adjustable. This will be my first experience with coilovers so I'm not an expert on this stuff by any means.

Just curious... in the advert, it lists "All Models" then indicates 991 Carrera S -2011-. Is that a typo or some other code # for the part? Doesn't make any sense for obvious reason....

I think they mean 2012 and up model years.

I wonder if you have to deal with a lot of error messages when you disconnect the PASM.

Are you getting them for better performance on the track? autocross?

I have always done coil overs on all my track/autox cars, but I'm going to think long and hard before I change anything that will affect PASM. As body roll has been my biggest enemy at the track.

That said, I haven't picked up my 991 Carrera S yet, so these are just my prejudgements. This won't be the most power I've tasted in a car, but it will definitely be the best handling car I've ever owned.

Good luck! Cheers!

I have a pretty basic 2012 Carrera with no PASM, PDCC, etc. I would certainly be asking about integration with those systems before ordering anything not OEM.

If you are PASM equipped and wish to retain that function, Bilstein B16 Damptronics or Tractive DDA is the way to go.

shame these Ohlins dont have 2-way adjustment

They're probably two way adjustable (bounce and rebound) through one dial. Most in this category are, like bilstein pss9/10.
