Default Ride height

I have a carrera 09, no options, no pasm...what can be done to have ita ride a little lower? (like a carrera s would be ideal) H & R springs would work?

You can do that but recall that Porsche sets these for optimal performance, handling, and US DOT standards. When you deviate from that you will compromise some of those. The H&R spring solution is popular for those without the PASM option found on S models.

you can look at h&r web site and get the spring for your car, you can buy porsche row spring for your car, they would be slightly lower. You should not buy springs for another model for your model.

You can get some new coilovers and adjust ride height, corner balance the car and have a even better ride than stock.

My car has a Sport version of PASM which is even lower than regualr PASM. My car handles geat, rides great and looks correct with the lower ride height.
