Just a heads up for anyone in the SoCal area that has upgraded their Porsche to suspension other than the factory electronically valved suspension you can now take it to House Automotive in Pasadena where Greg did it successfully with my 997. Great shop that rivals that of a dealer service center at a fraction of the price. Now I have my sport and sport+ functionality back 🙌🏼
So if I'm understanding you correctly, you have aftermarket shocks that are still electronically controlled by your PASM buttons/modes? If so, that sounds neat. Can we get specs/details?

actually no, i went with an aftermarket coilover system that did not have damptronic so as soon as you started you got the "PASM Failure" now that's been removed and I can access the "SPORT & SPORT+" button

There are aftermarket shocks/dampers that are electronically controlled by PASM/or other similar buttons which as a result work better and are better manipulated thanks to those electronic devices. No offense to anyone but going away from electronic shocks/dampers is like going back to none-power steering, none-synchro gears, none-abs cars...there is a system out there which utilizes the electronic shocks/dampers to the best of their ability transforming you car suspensions into a car as if it had a $15000 suspension at a fraction (less than half) of the cost. Think 6 millisecond response time vs 15-20 millisecond response times.
It is F1-type technology perfected by F1 teams for 20+years now available at cost which is no longer cost prohibitive. PM if you're interested.
Just as there are people who still prefer to have to move their foot around to change gears, there are people who prefer to have to put up with excessively firm damping all the time just to have it there when its really needed. The first group I think confuses being active with being connected. The second, a harsh ride with performance. Going from a system that adapts to driving conditions to one that is fixed can only be considered an upgrade during the one small set of driving conditions for which it is optimized. If even then.

It is a little hard to tell because Chuck is typically direct and to the point (for better or worse depending on how thin your skin is), but this the most polite, well mannered put down I think I've ever read by him!
