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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I don't recall seen this question talked about here. Does anybody have any insight as to why Porsche made PASM-equipped Caymans 10mm lower? I imagine some possible answers could be because they felt like it, or because they could. But most likely there is a rational. Does anybody know it?

POST 2Original post

I always assumed it is because the auto-firming function of the PASM will prevent you from bottoming-out on rough roads, making it possible to make the car lower for better handling and aerodynamics...and looks.

POST 3Original post

It has to do with the use of different shocks and different spring-rates of the PASM suspension vs. the shocks and springs of the non-PASM suspension. brad

POST 4Original post

It all depends on the driver. Sorry, couldn't resist. :cheers:

POST 5Original post

I always assumed the same, but didn't want to induce any bias into the question.

POST 6Original post

Dammit, what am I going to do with you? :cheers:

POST 8Original post

Maybe it is to make more people buy PASM. If you are not convinced about the capabilities, you might simply like the idea of the car being lower. I know it had an impact on my impression of the feature.
