I have SPASM. Sometimes the front wheel gap bothers me and sometimes it looks fine. Is it worth possibly ruining the perfect ride to drop it 10mm? Probably not.

I would’ve considered Bilstein coilovers but I have FAL and it’s a fixed 35mm drop in the front. That’s way too low for me because I drive the car a lot and need to be able to navigate any new obstacles or inclines that pop up.

not that my opinion matters much, but I think this looks perfect.

I, too, agree that SPASM is perfect for OEM wheels. The minute you go aftermarket and spec wider, aggressively offset wheels, a drop is necessary for the car to look right.

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of this build and think it's a good example of what can be done purely from the configurator without all of the CXX optioning. :-)

We actually used my car (and garage) in the Porsche AG spotlight video on PTSRS that was released last year. Whenever I see your username it reminds me of it since the tag line was "dreams in full color".

I think SPASM is perfect height on these cars... still drives me insane that you can't put it on a targa because I wish I was just a tiny bit lower. (PASM below)

I read it as him being pedantic with the wording since official literature uses PASM with 10mm lowering or something similar rather than SPASM.

The proper Porsche nomenclature is “PASM Sport Suspension”. SPASM is the acronym used on the forum to refer to the PASM Sport Suspension.

​​​​​​​Hence why I said he was likely just being pedantic.
