Hello everybody... some of you know I dont own a cayman (I did for 2 weeks before I bought my boxster), but the question I have can also be anwered by some of you folks. I own a 987 boxster s, and I'm wondering If I could fit non-PASM coilovers on my boxster (I have PASM) and just go to the dealer and have them disable my PASM so no warning light show up. I know PASM is so great etc etc, but here in Miami I dont need it that much, plus a nice coilover setup might do the trick... I'm looking specially at the KW Variant 3 coilovers or the Bilstein PSS9's. So if anybody can help me on this matter (sponsors?), installing KW Variant 3 coilovers designed for regular suspension on my PASM equipped boxster s?
Thanks and have a great day!
Alan
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.

I would wait a few months for the PASM compliant PSS9's as opposed to disabling PASM.

Alan-
We have on order Bilstein's latest version of coilover for the PASM cars. Since they helped develop the PASM for Porsche, it's proven easier for them to come up with a solution.
Their new system will work in conjunction with your PASM, and still lower the car. Firmer spring rates are also one of the benefits. It is a seamless fit with a factory style electrical connector.
Please stay tuned for more details. I will post them as I get them.

Mike and KmanS, thanks for your response. Mike, I know sometime soon KW, H&R and Bilstein will come up with a PASM compatible system, but my question is if I can fit just regular coilovers and disable PASM. I really dont use PASM, so I just rather have the regular coilovers and use the 1000 dollar difference on something else...> exhaust?
Thanks!

So you could just go with an H&R system. It would totally disable the PASM.

Mike, do you sell H&R? I think they dont have their coilover kit out yet... and how exactly would it disable the pasm completely? Doesnt someone has to disable it?
Thanks!
