Maybe because you baseline is a GT3 stock suspension?...probably harder to improve with relative low cost modifications vs my base setup. Just visually, I don't know what Porsche was thinking when they decided to have like a foot wheel gap in front for a base suspension 992.

 

Baseline are coil overs - on my M2c and 993 (KWv2, KWv3 respectively).

I had a big drama with coilovers on the 992 that I won’t rehash. Springs were ok but not quite right. It is a lot more obvious now that I have the GT3, that’s true.

I agree with you on the wheel gap - makes no sense.

 

I wonder if DSC will release a PASM controller like they have for 991s that provides damper tuning for lowered cars that can mimic GT3 like control. That may help bridge the gap btw aftermarket springs/coilovers paired w/ stock dampers.

 

It is a strange decision, but I have to assume it compels many people to move to S with SPASM option, so maybe that's why.

 

Even SPASM looks too high. GT3 height looks just about right IMO.

 

I don't mind the SPASM height of mine; I prefer lower, but it's about right for a stock sports car meant primarily to be driven on normal roads.

 

I do like the height though, I’ll keep you guys updated, I’m getting my PASM calibrated, I hope it fixes the problem.

 

Cudos for bravery, can't imagine the issues involved in lowering these cars with RAS and PASM.

 

I was waiting and hoping, but it never happened. That certainly would have helped damper integration with lowering springs

I don’t think PASM is that big a deal. RAS never really posed an issue either. I think PDCC is the one thing that can trip things up - sway bars are a common source of clunking/noisy weirdness after lowering and the typical solution (end links) are not possible with PDCC.

 

Honestly, I don't know if it's that hard. There are many people who have lowered their cars without issue. Mine is lowered on Bilstein coilovers replacing both the stock shocks and springs and my installer said he didn't have to do any coding whatsoever and I have RAS and SPASM and everything is working without issue and not throwing any warnings or codes.

 

Wait you don't have sport design package but you still have a wing. What wing are you running any pics of it?

 

I was able to get a Aerowing from Suncoastporsche

 

Quick update: After killing my battery again over the weekend I got some new error messages. Among them was the Auto start/stop not working like yours (and some others, general CEL, doors not locked while on drive mode, parking brake not functional etc). I disconnected the battery for 30min and reconnected, than started the car a few times. After a few attempts, the errors all cleared - so, maybe you had the same issue that they left the door open or something else while working on your car and it drained the battery. Just recharging does not work to clear the codes. at least not immediately...sometimes, the nuclear method and disconnecting the battery helps as I experienced.

 

Generally like the aerokit, but it looks comical in this shot.

 

I have a appointment tomorrow with GMG in Santa Ana California tomorrow at 8am. Over the phone I told the technician about the issues and he immediately knew what I was going through. He seems confident, let’s see how it goes. I’ll keep you guys updated.
