Suspected cause
But it runs a stiffer, lower suspension so likely an acquired taste, and more track focused.
Leading evidence: 'acquired taste, and more track focused' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'acquired taste, and more track focused' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace springs just' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I wouldn’t want to go to the trouble of replacing springs just to delete this option.
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.

Happy New Year All,
My Cayman GTS has the “Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with ride height lowered by 10 mm” option, so as I understand it, the ride height is 10mm higher than a standard GTS. Does anyone know if this option can be simply/cheaply removed, to get the ride height lowered to the standard -20mm?
Thanks

If you fit standard GTS suspension then surely that will increase the ride height by 10mm?
I found it a bit confusing, but I think the GTS normally rides 20mm lower than the base model, but there is a GTS option (selected on my car) to ride only 10mm lower than the base model. So deleting that option would drop the ride height to the full base model - 20mm. Maybe.

Yes your car rides 10mm higher than the standard GTS set up which is 20mm lower than a standard car without PASM.
It's probably different springs unless they are height adjustable (which I doubt)

Hi. HNY.
PASM is -10mm over the Cayman with stock suspension. On the GTS, PASM was a standard option
X73 (sports suspension) is -20mm over the base Cayman, -10mm over the Cayman with PASM
Probably worth speaking to a specialist to ask how much, or whether it can be done.
X73 is quite sought-after in part due to its rarity. But it runs a stiffer, lower suspension so likely an acquired taste, and more track focused.

Thanks for the info - I was naively hoping there might be a spacer that could be removed to reduce the ride height. I wouldn’t want to go to the trouble of replacing springs just to delete this option.
Standard suspension on the GTS 4.0 is SPASM (sport PASM) -20mm from the base 2.0 model ride height. PASM is -10 from the 20 so -10mm from the base 2.0 model ride height.
It's not only the springs and shocks that are different, the anti roll bars are stiffer as well.

Scrounger is right, springs, shocks and anti roll bars are all different, so the answer is No, the -10mm option cannot be simply/cheaply removed I'm sorry to say.
