Should I install PASM, a popular option for Porsche?

About PASM

I wrote the other day.Should I get Porsche's popular optional Sport Chrono Package?andShould I get the popular Porsche option Sports Exhaust?This time, following the PASM(Porsche Active Suspension Management)I would like to write about the options for

PASM is a chassis (suspension system) option. According to the description on the Porsche website.

PASM, an electronically controlled damper system, isFurther enhance driving stability, comfort, and performance.The damping force of each wheel damper is infinitely adjustable according to road conditions and driving style. In addition, the vehicle height is set 10 mm lower.PASM has two damping modes, "Normal" and "Sport".It is switched by operating a switch on the center console. The normal mode is set for performance and comfort, while the sport mode is selected for a firmer setting.

It is written as follows. Another site's description states.

."Further enhances stability while cornering at high speeds, andShock absorbers with wider damper settings areIn addition, precise responsiveness enhances comfort andIn dynamic drivingImproved road holding"

It was written.

In other words, if PASM is installed as an option, the ride quality and comfort will be improved in normal conditions, while the suspension will become much firmer and the ground feel will increase when the car is set to sport mode, enabling a sportier driving experience.

Nevertheless.It is infinitely adjustable at any time.That's amazing! By the way, this is the switch for PASM.

Is this an illustration of a damper?

In terms of PASM's reputation, the internet has overwhelmingly shown that "You can do without PASM, but if you can, you should definitely put it on.Many of the respondents were of the view that "the

When you're in a car without PASM, you can't just say, "There's a bump at the end of a high speed road.I thought, "I'm not sure if this is a good idea," but after all, when riding in a car equipped with PASM, the impact in that area is suppressed and the ride is noticeably more comfortable, etc.

Evaluation of PASM by the husband of a Porsche driver

Our Porsches are equipped with PASM.(including standard equipment)I have occasionally driven test rides, etc., without PASM, but I was completely unaware of it, so I can't opine on the difference at all...

When driving on highways and other roads, "theI don't have to put it in sport mode, but it's easier to drive if I just harden the suspension.I think that PASM would be useful when "I'm in the middle of a project.(It's a little thin...)By the way, my husband is

There are differences in degree depending on the car model, but in general, I think it is more comfortable to ride with PASM.

He says.

When I went to the dealership the other day to look at a Cayenne, I was like, "I'd definitely put that on the Cayenne.But when I asked my husband about PASM, he answered in this way.

I remember something about a 718 Cayman or something like that.Without PASM is slightly stiffer than Sport Plus with PASMHowever, the expression "stiffer" is not so clear. However, the expression "stiffer" is a bit delicate, and in the case of PASM, the damping force of the damper is controlled electrically variable, so depending on the situation, it may not be much different from that without PASM, or PASM may be felt stiffer in some situations.
The point is that PASM is an active damper that allows for continuously variable damping force adjustment.Rather than "hard" or "soft."too, and thereby "theFeels comfortable to ride.", also.Stabilizes" posture, tire contact, etc. while corneringI think that's what it means.
Also, it seems to me that the one without PASM is more rigid and athletic, but if that's the case, "PASM should not be standard on GT3 and the like", right? But the fact that it's standard meansPASM is still faster and more comfortableI think it is.
I have also heard that it is very difficult to retrofit PASM, so it is one of the options that I would like to add from the beginning. By the way, I always install PASM.

This was the case.

I still don't know a lot about car construction and such, but if I'm just driving myself.Considering the comfort of the passenger and rear seat passengers, etc.I thought it would be better to keep it on after all.

I wonder which option I should examine next... I'm thinking, "I'm going to test the option that saysI would love to see you write about ________!I would be happy to hear from you again in the comments section.
