Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
If you have stock US suspension, I recommend the RoW M030 kit, which should be adequate for a few DEs a yr on street tires and it's very cost effective too especially if you diy.
Leading evidence: 'Recommend row m030 kit' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Recommend row m030 kit' (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.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I *thought* I could just replace the shocks & struts with B4 Bilsteins, but then I got to wondering - is my system going to start throwing failure codes or acting strange if I don't have the PASM-compatible Bilsteins?
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Here I was, all fat dumb and happy, and someone posted something about how PASM worked, which illustrated the shock valving.

I don't fully understand all the intricacies, but I believe the ABS system ties-into the PASM system as well.
So, for a street-mostly 996 C2 (2001), with the expectation of just a few DE events at some point in the future, what do I need to start thinking about WRT shocks & struts? What questions should I be asking? (intend to DIY it).
Merry Christmas, and Thanks!

I have a mostly street driven 2002 with PSS10's that I track a few times a year. No codes or whatever from stability mgmt. Although, usually the first thing I do when I start the car is click the stability mgmt off.
Also, I think you mean PSM and not PASM.
996 don't have PASM, which is std starting at 2005

DavidNYC: Well, I'm in NE Tarrant, so a bit from you. We can touch base for one of the C&C or Region events, though!
JetSkied: This is a "down the road" upgrade, and I have no idea how far down the road. Not really thrilled with a lowered suspension. A bit "entertaining" to see me get in/out of mine now! ;-) I appreciate the offer, and ya never know when that road might get shorter.
