I currently have 992 S with SPASM with RAS and no PDCC.
What has your impression been with the Ohlins R&T or EVO SE? I know the latter can retain PASM adjustability but if Ohlins is noticeably better I’d rather get that.
This would be for just backroad semi aggressive driving and MAYBE some track time, so just looking for more fun / engagement. I also plan to max out the front camber and zero out the toes given stock components for some more feedback as well.
The Bilstein EVO SE would be a good suite for what you're describing. If you were more track oriented I'd say maybe go the Ohlins route. But for more of a daily with spirited driving I'd say Bisltein.
We have them in stock as well.

I have a GTS. I’m perfectly fine with suspension, the way it drives, occasional track day , once or twice a year, all I want is to lower the stance a little bit without sacrificing ride. What’s the best choice for that? Thank you

KW Height adjustable springs will do the trick then, we have those in stock.

Does anyone have info on the spring rates for both? I’ve read a post about issues with blistein EVO SE being clunky. Might be just installation error, but just throwing it out there.
Again, anyone who has installed any of these coilovers, would appreciate your inputs.
I just purchased a 2022 Targa 4S and this time around spent the money on the Bilsteins. Ride in the normal mode is still firmer than stock, but comfortable. In sport mode I find the suspension handling is superior to the factory setup. I wish I had more places to drive where I could really take advantage of sport mode!
I like that fact that with the Bilsteins I still take full advantage of the Porsche PASM system.
I have Bilstein EVOs on my 992S. I think they improve both handling and ride quality and have found that the car rides better in all modes - normal, sport and sport+ with the Bilsteins. My car is modestly lowered. I think preserving more suspension travel always makes the ride better w/ coilovers.

if you have a GTS the Billsteins aren't officially supported (although some here have them on their GTS)... I'vr emailed them multiple times to verify and they insist they aren't supported and have never been tested on a GTS.

How much did you lower it? I found it to be stiffer in every mode.
Mine is lowered 5/8" F and 1/2" R from stock SPASM. Did you have PASM or SPASM stock and do you have FAL? My car does not have FAL.
I think my stock SPASM suspension had noticeably worse ride quality than PASM cars I test drove and the Bilstein EVOs improved the ride quality over my stock SPASM suspension.
Also, with respect to FAL, the FAL version of Bilstein EVOs are not height adjustable in front and looks like it lowers a lot - like 1" lower up front vs. the 5/8" F lowering on my car.

I have PASM and dropped the car 20mm all around from stock ride height. It is noticeably stiffer in every drive mode.

That explains it. PASM rides noticeably better than SPASM. My stock SPASM 992 felt like a lowered car when completely stock, i.e. it felt like it lacked suspension travel and bottomed out and felt harsh riding. I was very pleasantly surprised that the Bilstein EVOs improved the ride quality. RK-D also felt this way when he installed the Bilstein EVOs on his Turbo S.

Do you have the FAL version of the Bilsteins?
No FAL for me. I used to switch the car to sport and sport plus mode every drive. After installing these I had to setup the individual mode to get the sport shifting with normal chassis for regular driving and when my wife is with me.
