What are the options regarding lowering a 997?
Does the adjustable option do anything?
I currently have PSS9s on my 996 and track 13-15 times per year.

i think the factory is offering a RoW (non-us) suspension option for the "s" model that lowers it 30mm. gert at carnewal maybe knows more.

It's 20 mm lower than Carrera for this model. The standard "S" PASM suspension is 10 mm lower than Carrera.

The Carrera with std suspension can be lowered with this PSS9 system, but the Carrera with PASM or all US Carrera S's have PASM and cannot be replaced without interupting all of the integrated electronics systems (including Porsche stability and sports mode). I bet the dash would light up like a Christmas tree once all the sensors for the PASM are disconnected. The sport suspension (with LSD) is not available in USA

Todd at EVO has lowered the 997 and it looks awesome. His car is a standard Carrera. He also has put together a "Big Brake" kit that is killer. Less than the ceramic package, looks great and the car stops on a dime. I am sure he will be posting info soon.
