    I have had my FL car with sports PASM for a month and 1000 miles now. It works fine as a daily drive for me

    The first 300 miles took a bit of getting use to, but i love it now. You do have to watch out for the ground clearance over road humps etc...


    cdixon.......two questions.......1.)can I assume you're comments describe 'Normal mode'....and 2.) is there an 'Off' position, or are the choices simply Norm & Sport?


    Thanks in advance



    Hi mate,

    To answer your questions. It is the same as the gen 1 cars in that you can put it in sports mode but then put the PASM in normal mode by pressing the PASM switch.

    Given the condition of UK roads i tend to keep it in normal mode most of the time. I have put it in sport mode and it is great when the road surface is good, but can knock the fillings in your teeth out when the road is poor.

    From memory for what it is worth i find the system very close to what is in the current GT3, so maybe take a test drive in one of those before deciding ?

    [quoteMy car has regular PASM, not the new 20mm. I agree, the car feels great on the normal setting, soaking up bumps and road imperfections like a good suspension should, but remaining firm enough to support the car and keep it level during hard cornering or braking. On the sport setting however, the car gets firmer but also moves around and oscillates way too much over bumps. One of my favorite roads has a lot of fast, banked sweepers on it that are good for around 70 or 80 MPH, the car feels better here on the normal mode rather than the sport mode, it just feels much more planted.



    Wow interesting.
    The car feels more planted in the Normal mode than the Sport mode....(where it 'ocillates' and moves around more than you'd like).
    Hey maybe they wired that switch backwards.


    If the suspension isn't supple enough to allow the wheels to travel and rebound smoothly over road irregularities then the forces are transferred directly to the chassis, and stability goes out the window. The car feels less planted. On super smooth roads with no bumps the sport mode is better, but everywhere else the normal mode is better.
