I have seen a number of suspension threads for the CS, but about the standard C.
Assuming that I get a C without
PASM, I will be looking to lower it by just 1" or so. I am NOT looking for different ride characteristic - I just want it to look better. If there was a Porsche ROW suspension that would do that - it would be at the top of the list.
Can someone help me with the springs that are available, and their rates and lowering amount? I know that Eibach offers something that is listed as lowering the car by 1.3", that is little more than I was looking for. I also do not know what the rates are. If I also have to change the shocks, then I may as well go with PSS9s. (Although I am not a Bilstein fan, I understand that Porsche used them for the
PASM system - so they should know what they are doing here.)
So again. Any springs that offer moderate lowering and are designed to work with the OEM non
PASM shocks? I am not looking for better "performance", but I definitely do not want it to be worse! Anything that is Porsche approved?

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.
