Default Height PASM vs SPASM

My normal PASM car’s height is 75cm back and 72cm front. De front spoiler, so not the protection lip, is at 23 cm.

i was wondering if the SPASM height is exactly 1cm lower on all places or that there is more difference.


Back

Front

Spoiler

I'll measure mine when I get home. The ride height and wheel gap of my regular PASM C2S Cabrio is SUV like and rather silly looking - I'm curious how it measures up to yours. My front also sits higher than my rear, or so it appears visually.

This is interesting. I checked my car, also PASM (so not the lowered option) and I am sitting at 73.75cm rear and 71.5cm (see pictures).

What size wheels are you running? I have the 20/21 combo.
I also have the Michelin pilot winter tyres, but these shouldn’t make a difference as they are the exact same size as the factory tyres.

rear below


front below

Interesting indeed. Mine is 71cm front and 73cm rear. 911S with PASM. 20/21 spider wheels.

i also have 20/21 setup on Pirelli Zeros (NA coded). I think the difference between our cars is big! 1 cm is Spasm style difference! Crazy ...

So weird. My C2S with PASM is 72.5cm front and 74.5cm rear. That is indeed a huge difference! Could tire pressure have an effect on ride height as well? Mine seem to be way overinflated (37psi front 40 psi rear) since they came that when from the dealer.

My C2S with PASM is 71.75 cm (28.25") front and 74.30 cm (29.25") rear--20/21 Carrera Classic wheels with 30/33 psi comfort pressures. Yes, tire inflation can make a difference.

Looks to be pretty consistent with about 2.55 cm (1") more gap at rear. Just doesn't seem that a 1 cm (0.4") additional drop with SPASM would make that much visual difference.

Yes I would think tire pressure does make a difference. And probably how much gas is in the tank and what options you have as well. The more options you have, the more weight in the car.

So spasm seems to be 1,5 cm lower than non-spasm all around.

Anyone else who wants to measure their spasm height?

C2S Cab PASM + 20/21 on Goodyear F1s + FAL + PDCC + RAS +18way seats (she's a heavy girl)

*measured with 1/8 tank and 35/38psi

Front = 72.1cm (74.1cm w/FAL up)
Rear = 71.9cm

Due to the weight of my build its not surprising I sit a little lower than some of you guys...and it still has SUV wheel gap! I don't have the rake front to rear as most of you have though...hmmm...

why is your rear lower than the front? That’s certainly not normal, or am I losing something?

i think the values are backwards. the larger wheel circumference is the rear showing 28.75 inches to fender and the smaller wheel diameter (front) shows 28.375 inches.

I wish that was the case but nope...the rear sits lower than the front on this here 911. Here is the pic to see this baby in all her pre-runner glory!

I dunno...at this point I'm thinking that my FAL is not lowering completely and needs to be recalibrated (is that even possible?). Maybe need to bitch to my SA and have them check it out.
