I think you are mixing up PSM and PASM.

PSM keeps you from spinning the tires and spinning out in a curve if you screw up. IIRC (Porsche Stability Management)

PASM means your shocks can get stiff or soft depending upon if you are on a bumpy road or driving aggressively or try to change lanes to avoid something in the road. IIRC (Porsche Active Suspension Management)

And yes, I have PSM on in my car 99% of the time, and my '08 only has 303hp (first boxster to break the 300hp mark).
