Hossam,
Welcome to the site, have you used the search feature and looked for
PASM? There are many discussions on the topic already where members have discussed pros and cons and potential concerns such as long-term maintenance or the desire to lower the car, etc.
My personal opinion is that it is a great option for combo street/track driving so I ordered it after driving a car with it. If you never drive on the track it may not be necessary, and if you are a track nut it might not be necesary as you'd likely replace it with a PSS9 style suspension anyway. For me it was a good compromise for the time being, but again YMMV. Do a search and see what turns up.[img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thanks.gif[/img]

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
