997.2's equipped with PASM & S-PASM are not always 20mm lower.
When S-PASM is not engaged, ride height is 10mm lower than standard (i.e., cars not equipped with PASM).
When S-PASM is engaged, ride height is lowered the additional 10mm, equalling 20mm drop from standard (i.e., cars not equipped with PASM).
All very confusing...

Ok so PASM is 10mm lower all the time and activating it just stiffens the shocks?
As for the 3rd Radiator I have a 997.1 S with the 3rd radiator as far as I know it wasn't an after sale add on, I have seen a 997.1 S without a 3rd radiator but it was a manual transmission...

The 3rd radiator was standard on the Tiptronic cars which your signature says you have.
I have an 06S and do not have a third apradiator because my car is a manual.
I'm pretty sure SPASM, wasn't avail only on the .1 cars and was offered in the revised .2 platform.

I have a 997.1 S, which came stock with PASM. The car is always 20mm lower than non-S. There was no additional sport suspension available, AFAIK. I think that became available with the 997.2. The dash buttons include sport mode, which engages the quicker throttle and stiffens the suspension, and a button that switches the suspension only. My understanding is that PASM operates all the time, regardless of settings. The suspension button just stiffens it up.

I was apparently wrong about the ride height, which is only lowered 10mm. It's explained in detail, by Porsche, in the attached link (scroll to p. 10), at least as to 2008 997.1 S models.

Lots of confusion and somewhat misinformation here....
SPASM was only offered on later 997.2 Carrera cars.
PASM is NOT SPASM even though you have the sport button.
PASM is lower in height than regular suspension and SPASM is another 10mm lower
Pressing the PASM buttom DOES NOT lower the car. PASM and SPASM is a FIXED HEIGHT suspension
SPASM is more than just lowering springs....shocks and sway bars are different calibration
