Porsche Boxster – Active Suspension

If we were ordering a Boxster we’d include the Sport/Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which provides two suspension choices: “Normal” and “Sport.” The system takes readings from sensors that monitor steering, speed, brakes, body movement, and engine torque and then continuously adjusts the shock absorbers for optimum balance and control. When Sport is selected, the difference is immediately noticeable, with a more solid feel, better turn in, more immediate braking and even less body roll. It’s like the difference between skating on slightly dull blades versus super sharp ones.
