Are you sure that replacing the springs on a PASM suspension car (particularly one that's leased) is a good idea? PASM cars are already lowered 10 mm relative to other 987s and the active damping system is programmed to work with OEM equipment. PASM failure and software glitches are not unheard of and at least one PASM equipped forum member has had a shock absorber replaced.

I have PASM on my car, so am familiar with the feel of sport setting. It's pretty finely tuned, and perhaps not something to mess around with. Not to mention that the Box is susceptible to bottoming-out in stock form, let alone lowered.
