When you lower the car with just springs and keep the stock shocks nothing should happen to the PASM as that is connected to the shock.

Just to reiterate, you’re saying I can buy different springs and still use my PASM?

Mark,

Yes I believe so as the PASM only controls the shock not the spring.

One last question... when you ordered springs (the H&R sport springs) did you just order them for a 2012?

Thanks,

Mark

Man, I’m using a mac and have spent the last hour trying to find a translation program.

I’ll get it....

Well, never mind... translated it but when I click on lowering springs and go to porsche, there is no drop down box to go further.

I’ll dig into it more.

Thanks,

Anyway, back to the thread before I rudely interrupted.

In this pic, (IMO) the rear tire doesn't look wide enough for the wheel. Is there room for a wider tire and still keep the correct ratio to maintain the correct height?



Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

There is some more room in there. I am sponsored by Nitto and this is what they had. According to their site the 275/35/20 is still approved for an 11" wide wheel. The only other tire that is close would be a 295/30/20 which is .3" shorter than stock. I didn't want to go shorter since there is still wheel gap even with the drop.

Just for sh*ts and giggles, has anyone verified how accurate the speedometer is? I ask because since many speedo's are off a bit and if the difference in tires is off a bit, it may make the speedometer right on the money.
