SPASM on Carrera S Cab
I keep thinking to myself if the SPASM option makes sense on a Carrera S Cab? Since I won't be driving it on the track will I miss not having it? Most of my driving will be driving events with various local clubs and the occasional trip to Napa. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I went around the houses on this too. I posted at length about my option choices here:

In short I wanted a canyon thrashing sports car rather than a track weapon too. This iteration of SPASM is definitely adaptable enough for road use in a cabriolet. I find the sport setting greatly increases ‘feel’ and therefore confidence in corners. The only qualification is if your local roads are not well maintained, then I think it would be fatiguing.

I had a S 991.1, base 991.2, both cab. Took the latter to the track constantly.
The SPASM is the singe best thing in the chassis balance on the 992. If you intend to drive it spiritedly on public roads in a manner that won't land you in jail, the base suspension is fine. If there's track involved, SPASM is a must have.
On a prior thread about track day I uploaded a video of the 992 cab with SPASM, I'll see if I can find.

In my PCA region you can as long as there's a pop-up anti-roll bar. From the 996/986 on all P-cars have it. More advanced groups may require a roll cage, cab or not. Laps inc and MVP track time also abide for that.
I know some organizations won't allow for convertibles, no matter what, some bmw cca chapters, I believe

Front article on the C&D website would suggest the suspension upgrade is at least a reasonable thing to consider. I went for it on my build...
