718as Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi, Is the road height adjustable?, I know there is a sports suspension version that lowers it 20mm, however a lot of the standard cars on sale seem to have various road heights.

Gorsh Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 No, it isn't adjustable. Standard suspension is the highest, PASM is I think 10mm lower and the sports suspension (x73) is 20mm lower. Differing wheel sizes are compensated by different tyre profiles so the wheel diameter stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
718as Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 That's it! some cars have PASM which is lower ride height. http://www.porsche.com/uk/models/718/718-cayman/chassis/porsche-active-suspension-management-pasm/ Thanks!

Leonard Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Suprised how good the ride is on 20's with PASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Boxster I had 'sporty' mondeos and Octavias. The ride in the Boxster on 20" 35 profile tyres is better than either of these with 18" 45 profiles. (This isn't all due to PASM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Coming from a Z4 (E85) originally all the Boxsters I have owned feel like you are riding on a cushion of air Joking apart the ride in the 981 is exceptional for such a capable sport focussed car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon61 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 +2. I don't have PASM on my 981, and having had 17" on both my 986s, I thought 20" would be much too firm but it's fine, the suspension is obviously completely different to the 986 (I can't compare with a 987).

CMA Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I was too surprised how good my 981 was on 20" with no pasm. Very impressed even on the bumpiest roads it is comfortable. Must be even nicer with the pasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 my 987 was worse on 19's than the 981 is on 20's thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I have 20" wheels and PASM and I have to confess, the ride is superb ... in fairness, whether on or off ... they have an exemplary chassis on these things, so responsive on one hand but genuinely comfortable on the other ! The above posters are spot on ... 20mm lowered for sports suspension, PASM 10mm ... I tried a 20mm one prior to purchase and even that wasn't too harder a suspension ride even on bumpy roads.

Stuart21UK Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 PASM is never 'off' in case you didnt know...it just has 2 settings (both variable depending upon road conditions and driving characteristics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart21UK Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I have it on the Cayenne with 21" wheels and I really can't tell the difference if its on standard, Sport or Comfort setting (there are 3 settings on the Cayenne) The car runs similarly on the winter 20's too...no discernible difference which makes me think its doing a very adaptive job all the time... I remember driving a 987 Cayman back in 2007 and it was easily apparent from the stiffer ride when in 'Sport' mode If I ever had a 987 again on 19's (which were a tad on the harsh side) I would have it (to help soften the ride) but not anything smaller (wheelwise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
