nice, how do you like the springs? I love the lower height I also have a pretty aggressive alignment on my wheels. My car handles like it on tracks.

I have the same camber on my car. I plan on the sway bars next. You're car must be crisp through the turns. Do you track it?

Anybody have the height for a 997S with H&R's. Seems the base 997 with H&R springs is the perfect drop, but the S with H&R's might be just a tad too low..?? This has just been my obversation and personal preference though.

How would the two be different? Tire height? What did I miss that will determine height?

Yes, PASM is slightly lower than standard suspension, just not sure by how much.

In stock setup, but if you change the springs with aftermarket ones, won't they determine the height? I don't think that PASM compresses the springs more than a non PASM shock would.

As per the Sales Manual."The chassis on the Carrera S comes standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and rides .39 inches (10 mm ) lower than that on the standard 911 Carerra."
