Default Lets lower PASM cars already!!

When will someone come out with some lowering springs for cars with PASM? Besides TECHART who claims to have one in the works for a few months now...

Well, if it's any consolation, the S model does sit lower to the ground than the base model by a whopping 0.39 inch. Whoopee, right? Another inch would be nice. That's what... nah, I'll keep it clean.

That's one reason I got the GT3- never seen a 911 look so good right from the factory...

I might do H&R springs but am scared of the brutal ride for daily basis.

Why don’t you guys just get larger diameter tires to fill the void? I don’t think I’ve seen any 997s’ up close but the 997 that I have seen up close looked horrible with the gap between the fender and the tire. There would be disadvantages to the larger diameter tire, for example decreased acceleration, but by how much, from 4.8 to 5.3 second to 60? Does that much of a difference really matter? Would you even be able to notice? To me this seems like it would be the most economical short term solution.

Decreased acceleration is unacceptable. Since most 997S cars have 19" wheels from the factory, a larger diameter wheel would mean 20" or > wheel. That would look like **** + the car would handle worse.

Why buy a near 100k sports car to make it slower, less nimble, and damn ugly?

BTW - My PSS9 coilover kit should be here next week!!!
