Help with lowering 997 4S

I have a 997 4S with sport chrono plus and code:
475 T Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
XRP F Wheel spacers 5mm


This PASM option seem to be standard equipment according to the spec list on my swiss version. No sport suspension in spec list. Is this lower than a car without PASM?

What is the best option for a lowprice lowering? I dont want too stiff / too low. But maybe 10-20mm lower.

Least expensive I'm aware of are Eibach springs (about a 25mm drop) or H&R springs (just shy of a 32mm drop). On my third 997 now with PASM suspension. Lowered all three with H&R springs which creates a perfect stance for me without compromising ride quality. Not a slammed look. You can still fit your middle finger between the tire and the fender. That said, some will tell you the H&R's are too low and the ride to harsh

Subjective but to me the Eibach drop doesn't quiet get it done. A quarter of an inch or 7mm doesn't sound like much but is definitely visible to a critical eye. Price of both these options is about the same around $300 last time I checked.

if lowered with springs you should consider using the shorter Bilstein B8 struts and shocks. That is what i am going with next.

Picture of mine with Eibach springs, ride is OK but I think will be much better with the B8

Most people do hr or eibach, the latter being a bit milder.
