PASM sport -10mm lowered
hi,
Do you think PASM lowered worth the money?
And did you think standard PASM is enough for daily use?
I'm not a track boy and I'd like to have sports car but not too much hard... Better comfort
I don't know if put this in my order
thank you

Go for it. It's a sports car, not a lifted people mover sedan.
I feel like SPASM still sits high. I can fill the gap between the wheel and body with my fingers. I wish Porsche offered an even lower package.
Non SPASM cars sit fairly high. If it's still only a 6-700 upgrade i would do it. Otherwise you shell out the same money for aftermarket springs and you must pay more than $1500 to get them installed. Now your car is modified and it cost you extra.

On the 991s Sport PASM is 10 mm lowered, has shorter stiffer springs and roll bars compared to PASM cars. The difference is more than just looks, it includes less roll on cornering, a slightly stiffer, but by no means too harsh, ride, slightly better steering feel and obviously more "buttoned down" handling. I understand that ALL 992s have stiffer rate springs and improved PASM compared to 991s. So the difference may not be as obvious, but based on past experience, Porsche delivers what it advertises.

Never found SPASM too firm. I think many wont even notice the ride quality difference. Honestly I think its the same thing just a little lowered.
The lowered look with smaller wheel well gaps is superior. Its a sports car so stuff like this matters. From the pictures I've seen the 992 has bigger front gaps even with lowered suspension. https://www.automobilemag.com/news/2...992-deep-dive/
Lowering tire pressures and smaller rims/ more tire will do more for ride comfort. If you want the most comfort, the non-sport suspension is the obvious choice though.

That article says
Which makes me ask the question, does taking the PASM -10mm option in fact IMPROVE the comfort setting when in Comfort mode? (as opposed to comfort mode on the standard PASM)
Or does this improved comfort also apply to cars that aren't optioned with the -10mm extra?
The Classiest of Chassis.
Dimensionally, the 992 is only 0.8 inch longer than the older car while riding on the same 96.5-inch wheelbase. This similarity is offset by a modified track, now wider by 1.8 inches in the front and 1.5 inches out back, giving the 992 a larger footprint and bigger base. The 992 also marks the first use of staggered wheel diameters on a non-GT 911, with S and 4S models getting 20-inch wheels up front and 21-inchers out back. (Non-S Carrera cars, which will debut later, are said to utilize a 19- and 20-inch setup.) The biggest chassis change arrives with the revised Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) dampers, which are now “infinitely” adjustable regardless of wheel position. Before, the dampers were adjusted only when the wheel wasn’t moving up or down. This results in a wider spread between the Comfort and Sport suspensions settings—in other words, Comfort is more comfortable and Sport is sportier than ever.

I think comfort will be the same in comfort mode but probably we can feel the shorter suspensions little more stiffer in sport mode.
I've add it today before order blocked for starting production.
I've done that because all reviewer have tested the car with it and they all fell in love with it

So I specified SPASM having not had it on my 991. How are those who have SPASM on their 992 cars finding it. Is it really ‘more comfortable in comfort and more sporty in sport mode’ as some mags have suggested?

PASM is standard since 991.2 gen and that continues in 992. S PASM is the same thing mostly, but 5mm lower...10mm lower than standard non-PASM (which doesn't exist anymore?).
Honestly they both perform almost the same and many wouldn't even notice. Both are comfortable in normal mode (for sports car standards) and really firm in sport mode.
That ever so slight lowered looks better, but you'll scrap easier (never been been a problem for me though). Its actually rare on 'dealer stock' cars, but if I were getting an S, i'd go for it (not available for base cars so that people would go for S). Last thing I'd want is to buy a sports car thinking the wheel gap and ride height too high then go wanting to lower it... (been there done that though).

My car arrives in a week or two... I didn't take S-PASM, and not having driven it yet, I'm already regretting the decision.
The demos I've driven didn't have it either, but just the black lip and lowering makes me wish I had it. I hope I'm wrong.
