Does anyone know if the Rinspeed 20mm lowering springs work on a 997S w/PASM? I have a friend in CA that wants to sell me some springs, but I want to make sure they'll work on my car...

Thanks in advance!

 

don't think they work on PASM.

 

I think they would work fine....there really isn't anything different about the H&R or TechArt springs that make them PASM compatible.

 

The 2 posts above are exactly the problem - I have no "proof" that they'll work with PASM, but there is no reason they should be different from other springs.

 

Short of getting the part numbers and shooting an email to Rinspeed, to make sure that these are the correct springs, there's not much anyone can do to confirm the compatability of these springs on your 997S. I'd pass on those untill someone gives me positive proof that these are meant for the 997S with the PASM.

 

Shukran ya Khalid...

That is what I am thinking, too. I'll just stick to the H&R springs I was going to get.

Hey Chris, here's the word from Rinspeed:
All lowering springs we sell, are made for PASM and standard suspension. Our springs do not work for 997 with original sport suspension.

 

Great - thanks for the info! +1 to you, sir.

 

Chris,

So what are you gonna go with? the H&R or Rinspeed.
also what is drop between them and spring rating etc.

 

I have rinspeed springs for my 997 C4S Cab
they do work fine with the PASM
and I thnk they drops the car lower than other springs..
I only have 2 finger gaps from the ground to the plastic thing below the bumper right in front of the front wheels.. 2 fingers..
it's really low..

 

I still haven't decided on springs - I think I'm going to end up with the H&R...

 

well, this info and pic is from Rinspeed's site...

Part No. 31 35 0100 F Lowering kit, 20 mm, for Carrera und Carrera S (without PASM)

They don't show PASM compatible springs. Maybe their website is out dated, but they show no other springs for a 997 Carrera. They do show PASM compatible coilovers, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

 

Any photos of your C4s cab with Rinspeed Springs. I am looking to lower my C4s Cab and trying to decided between H&R, Techart and Rinspeed.
