I’ve opted out on the PASM system (suspension system), as I’ve tried that on a Cayenne Coupe Turbo and did not see any performance or handling difference. The only drawback your left with is an ugly wheel to fender gap, but there’s way easier & cheaper solutions to get that ride height sorted. First of all, with the PASM, you get a 10mm drop (about 0.4″), which is unnoticeable. For the no PASM Macans, you can go with Fixed Lowering Springs, or Coilovers. The Lowering springs from H&R (1.5″ drop) or Eibach (1″) already give more drop vs the PASM.

I decided to go with the H&R Sport Springs…but first! Another “stance-look” I always focus on is how the wheels sit from the fender. With the 20″ Macan S wheels, which are 20×9 (et26) & 20×10 (et19) on 265/295s isn’t that bad, but still not flush-enough. After lowering, that would become more noticeable.
To fix that, I got the Flat 6 Motorsport Wheel Spacer kit, including extended bolts. It’s a 10mm/12mm push, not too aggressive (some go with 15/15).
**Note: always go with the slip-on type spacers with extended lugs, and not the type with the bolt-on studs (hub centric), the weight on those bolt-on studs can break as the whole wheel/car weight is on those spacer bolts. I’ve had a close call on my GT-R bolt-on spacer, and promised to avoid those at all cost –> here’s the post on that
