Coilovers for PASM equipped 987's

Hello everybody... I have a question for anybody that knows about the subject. I have a 987 Boxste S with PASM suspension; what i want to know is if I can install KW variant 3 coilovers or Bilstein PSS9 (the regular ones designed for non PASM cars) on my car, I know i might get warning lights, etc, but then I can go to the dealer to have them disable PASM. I know everybody must think that PASM is so great etc, etc, but here in Miami I dont need it that much, plus I dont autocross or anything, I just want looks. So, is it possible?? sponsors??

Thanks!

Alan

If you just want looks, then why not just go for Lowering springs and save yourself a couple thousand bucks. Don't forget, after having either of these coilover systems installed, it is also a best practice to weight balance the car. These things add up.

Just my $.02.

Dave, I had springs already, but I want to go lower than just springs. Weight balance, alignment, etc are not a factor. I only want to know if the only difference between regular coilovers and pasm-designed coilovers is the conector for the pasm, meaning I could just install the regular ones and have my pasm disabled, as i dont use it and dont really want it.

Thanks
