suspension upgrades for the 997s

Im trying to find out what kind of aftermarket suspension kits are currently available on the 997s. I know H&R makes one, lowering the car 1.25 inches. What else?

What I'd really like to know is if Porsche itself has a kit for this car. On the 996, there is the ROW 030, which I believe brings the car down about 30mm. (I myself have the ROW kit on the 996 and love it).

Any insight here? Thanks.

Porsche's sport suspension is available for everyone but NA, if you don't have PASM. Since the S has PASM standard, the sport suspension is not available.
Suncoast Porsche can sell you the sport suspension if you have the base 997 w/o PASM.

check out Eurocar Boutique, they have a 9ff/Bilstein suspension that is electronically adjustable through the PASM settings for a soft or firm ride.

No kidding, didn't know that. So they were able to make coilovers work with the PASM, incredible.

Is the ride still for sale?

You can check it out on their website, eurocarboutique.com, it is a complete suspension with swaybars, bushing, etc. I believe the soft and firm parameters are also adjustable so you can actually have a stock-like ride in "normal" mode and a street/race or track ride in "sport" mode. It is a pretty amazing setup.... pricey too... but i think it is well worth it.
