Does anyone know if there is a difference in the ride height of PASM equipped US model car vs. other world markets? I have a 997 C4S coupe arriving and if available, would prefer to install factory ROW springs. I realize that PASM is already 10mm lower than the standard suspension, but I would like to drop the car by an additional 10mm mainly for looks.
I'm not looking for a radical change or an increase in spring rates which is typical of the aftermarket options out there. I replaced the factory springs on my 993 C4S with ROW Turbo springs and was very happy with the lowered stance, reduced body roll and mostly preserved ride quality.
If nothing currently exists, perhaps the new 997 Turbo's springs would work for this application as the ride height with PASM appears to be lower on that car and the suspension is likely to be acceptably tuned for daily road use.
Any recomendations or opinions are appreciated.

I would believe that it would only be 10mm lower like you say. I don't think you can just but in the row springs with out getting the hole kit. I think you would also lose the PASM in doing so.

Correct, no PASM with the lowered car and you have a car that drives like *** unless you plan to track it all of the time. If that is the case, then buy a GT3 not a C* or C*S
