Lowering Springs for PASM Crocs..

has anyone found anyone heard of any news on lowering springs for pasm equiped caymans? if so, which company lowers the crocs with pasm the most? do h&r have springs specifically for pasm yet?

http://www.planet-9.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5946&FORUM_ID=5&CAT_ID=1&Topic_Title=How+low+should+you+go%3F&Forum_Title=Cayman+Mods Welcome! Look in the topic above for lots of references to topics about lowering. You may find what you need there if someone doesn't answer.

i used H&R springs on my PASM croc. My dealer told me they are fine - no problems with warranty or PASM. Also H&R specifically states that they are fine for PASM. I had an electrical glitch after install that was fixed and have not had any issue with PASM since. Car looks MUCH better. I only notice slight difference in harshness of the ride - for example, the NORMAL mode with the short springs is much less of a difference than the SPORT mode with the stock springs. good luck with it.

I have the H&R springs also. Over 4000 miles and several track days... they work great.

I'm waiting for the PSS9 Damptronic system since that will give the best of both worlds, the adjustability of the PSS9 system combined with the automatic dampening changes of PASM. As others have said though the springs from H&R and others seem to work OK so far with PASM but you may get some ride quality differences.

Hello K-man S, could you tell me a little more about PSS9 Damptronic? Thank you, Joe Edited by - josephsdesimone on 09/27/2006 9:24:40 PM

It's not available yet but I am inline to test a system when it does become available and will post more info as I get it.

i got H&R springs too and the PASM work as usual. the only downside, maybe, it become very harsh in SPORT mode.

For all those that changed their springs here, did you also change your shocks to go with them?

Stock PASM dampers here.

I kept the stock PASM shocks - changed springs only

me too. i keep the stock shock. only replace the springs.

I have PASM and when my car comes in i'm planning on using H&R springs, from the research i've done and the people i've talked to it seems like a good way to go if you are planning on lowering your cayman

Has anyone in the Santa Monica / WLA area had their PASM Croc lowered with H&R springs? I would like a recommendation and price. I can get the springs from Tire Rack for $315. Part number #54020. Thank You

I checked tire rack, but no H&R's showing for the Cayman S, only Eibach. As for the H&Rs, does the 1.4" drop in the front and 1.2" drop in the rear give the car a pitched stance to the front? For comparison, I noticed the Eibach's drop the Cayman 1.2" both front and back. Seems to me the H&R's might pitch the car to the front.

Do you find the ride more bumpy than before?

Hey whats up guys, I have read this post and decided to buy myself some springs for x-mass but i want to get a little more info from some of you. First it seams that everyone that lowered there car had PASM (good b/c i do to) but you all only did the springs, nothing else. In all seriousness how much stiffer/bumpier is the ride. Second with the exception of only one of you nobody has had any problems with the PASM not working correct?? Finlay if money was not an abject would you guy that have been driving the car lowered with just springs do it over again but this time with complete coil overs, ex: the set up Techart offers for about 5K?? Thanks

I'm hesitant to change only the springs for the same reason you are. I think that properly matched springs and dampers would be better. Some with 911 owners who switched to stiffer springs paired with the OEM shocks reported some spring bounce (under-dampening) on track, and somewhat earlier than usual shock wear. To avoid this, some either got the PSS9 system, or matched the stiffer springs with heavy duty/sport shocks.

Ken- Any word on the PSS9 system?

Ken Do you have a ballpark $ on the PSS9, is this $1-2k, 3-5k?

H&R hasn't come out yet with theirs, its been a while now since I called them about a year ago, they told me they where in the process and will come out with them in a couple of months... mhmmm, wonder when will they come out with some PASM compatible coilovers. Here is the link to where they sell them http://www.livermoreperformance.com/porsche_suspension.html . Also for the KW I know they have them already, here is a link also http://kw-suspensions.de/en/40_News/20_KW_News_Archive/index.php?we_objectID=791 Alan

Farnbacher Loles has 10 Sets of the new Bilsteins PSS10 for PASM equipped Caymans in stock [phone removed]

Plenty of info on the systems in the message on our home page about the install as well as in our most recent newsletter.
