Lowering 997s

Does anyone have info on lowering a 997s with PASM? Can the springs be changed w/out interfering with PASM?

I thought the S had an air suspension so no springs?

It is not an air suspension. It has shock absorbers with springs and the firmness of the shock absorbers is electronically controlled.

I spoke with Speedart yesterday and they now have a lowering spring kit for PASM equipped 997S. It lowers car 30mm which is equivelent to the Euro sport suspension and does not affect the computer.

I spoke again with Speedart and there was miscommunication regarding the lowering springs for PASM. They are not available just yet. Bilstein is working on a spring kit that should be available by end of the year.
