As I mentioned I will post my pics when I have my CS Lowered. It took aprox. 5 hrs., most time took removing the panels in the back. I also added 7mm spacers to the back. I had to get it aligned since it Cambered, but seems to be driving very nicely, almost as stock. I posted a before and after.
Let me know what you think?
The camber was not all that bad in my eyes but was noticeable, i took it to get aligned, they said that it was not too far off, but also mentioned they adjusted it as much as they can. For some reason it still looks about the same, so I may take it somewhere else for a second opinion. Keep you guys informed>
After driving a couple of hundred miles now, you definitly feel everything on the road. Since I don't drive it as much, I'm always excited to get in it, but I don't think it can be my everyday driving car after it has been lowered. But I'm still happy I did as I like the way it looks. That is my honest opinion.
i like my suspension stiff though. I drive daily with my PASM turned on but thanks for the info.
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'm interested in the answer to the "camber" question too. Thanks!
Did the alignment today at Dealership, so here's my answer to my question, if anyone else is interested.
Specimen:
06 Cayman S, non-PASM, lowered with H&R springs.
After lowering (and before alignment),
front left was -0.57
front right was -1.00
rear left was -1.59
rear right was - 2.15
What's interesting, that tech left me a note that I maxed out on positive camber in the rear, so the best he could do was -2.01 on rear left and right, not -1.7 as I asked..
I think I need to watch my thread wear now..

Looks GREAT! A world of difference from before and after. Thanks for sharing.
