Cool. I would be curious to know about that. I wouldn't mind a subtle drop without having to buy a KW has kit or something. I dont want 20-30MM drop so I would rather adjust c clips to get a few more MM than buy a KW HAS kit just to only lower it 10-15mm and not have factory springs anymore.
I'd imagine you could have some new spring perches machined (or modify the existing ones) that would allow for a dropped suspension by 10-15mm. I am not sure how much this would cost, but I am sure it could be easily accomplished in SoCal as there is an aerospace quality machine shop on pretty much every corner. There may or may not be a degradation of ride quality as the factory spring would be retained, but it would be interesting to explore.
I may put my car on a lift today to see how feasible this is.

Same here. I’m only looking for a modest drop beyond what SPASM offers.

Thanks bro. Any pics you can provide would be great.
I bought off the floor and my 922 Calabria did not have HAL. In San Diego I am bottoming out the front daily, is there an aftermarket system that has adjustable lift for the front?

I find this counterintuitive, you don’t want a HAS kit because you don’t want none factory springs but are willing to mess with the OEM setup that may work worth than a HAS kit as the OEM was not designed with the intend to be changed/lowered. Another post further down someone proposes to custom machine perches…which will cost more than a HAS and is untested. Nah, if you want to lower the car buy some properly designed HAS kit..and if you sell put the OEM back on if that is what you are worried about.

I don’t think it’s counterintuitive at all. If the OEM parts offer native height adjustments, why not utilize them?!? It is a valid to question whether the height difference between PASM and SPASM is simply Porsche moving the perch on the OEM Bilstein shock body. If you can raise/lower the car 5-10mm (..estimated) based on perch position AND you only want a conservative drop, why spend the money on an aftermarket kit when you can just utilize the built-in shock adjustment points?!? These adjustable perches are on the 991 shock body as well.

In another thread someone explained in detail that the SPASM is much more than a simple perch adjustment. It’s saving money on the wrong end - JMHO
Not a 992, but I just had mine lowered with H&R Sport springs yesterday and was skeptical that I might hate the ride quality, but was instantly relieved to feel how well these things feel...very close to OEM ride quality
loving the new look and feel

was supposed to do 10/15 spacers same time, but seller sent one bolt that was too long...ughhhh, will look even better once I get the spacers on, but loving the new look in the meantime

I had them on my 981. It takes some time but the drop will settle. By the end it looks fairly slammed. I was still able to drive it through mild snow but anything more than a few inches the car became a plow.
