Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

I am looking at a 2017 911S and one of the options is the PASM sports suspension (20mm lower). I am concerned with the ride quality with this option. Is the ride quality with this option more harsh even in the comfort setting as compared to the standard suspension.

POST 2Original post

PASM is standard on all 911s from 2017. Historically though PASM normal has been a little more compliant than the stock non PASM and firmer in sport mode. I've had PASM in 997, 987 and 991 cars and have found it overall comfortable in normal mode.

POST 3Original post

As zedcat says, it is actually more compliant than stock in 'normal' mode and only becomes more stiff when the mode is switched

POST 4Original post

I think he's asking about PASM Sport, not just PASM (which is definitely more compliant than stock). I've never driven a car with PASM Sport, so I can't comment.

POST 5Original post

Ah, missed that. I haven't driven sport PASM either. Closest I can relate is the PASM in the GT3/ GT4 which I think is comfortable and compliant in normal mode. Even sport mode is not that rough, and it softens up- adapts- if it's in sport and driving conservatively. Then again some people call the GT3 harsh and not suitable for DD. The configurator description is pretty simplified although it says the aero is different. Drfootman, have you test driven yet? And what car(s) are you coming from. Another consideration is the lower height and if that leads you to need the front axle lift. I use the lift quite a bit around town and getting in and out of my drive in the GT3. Interested to hear your test drive impressions. Thanks

POST 6Original post

I think he is talking about regular PASM (which is normally 20mm lower) and if so there are PASM charts in the FAQ (simply click on the highlighted PASM term in these posts to get there) that will show you as others have said that PASM is more compliant than the fixed suspension in normal mode, if you want ride comfort you want PASM and as much rubber on a tire as you can get (for example 18" instead of 19" or 19" instead of 20" etc.)

POST 7Original post

PASM is NOT an option for a 2017 911 , PASM is standard. Therefore the OP must mean Sport PASM which will have stiffer ride, period. Note the ride quality will be stiffer for the C2S because of the 20" wheels and nosier.-Richard
