There has been a fair amount of discussion and pictures on the topic of Sport PASM vs PASM on Sport Design front facia / GTS cars.

All logic for my future daily driver (for practical purposes) dictates that I stick with PASM. Some would say a lack of common sense leads me to want Sport PASM. My build is moved up now and will probably LOCK in just a couple of days....

Question:
For those that have the Sport Design front facia, including GTS, what are your every day clearance experiences?

Reposting because of a mistake in one poll question...

Did you visit Sonnen yet?

Yes, saw an every day Sport Design PASM driver with plenty of scrapes and heard sincere advice that the set up can present real world difficulties.... and that, being lower still, SPASM would be even more challenging.

So I have a 991 C4S with SPASM and the sport design kit. I have driven it a few thousand miles, make a 350 mile interstate trip 3 weekends a month. I have yet to scrape the lip yet... but I am also very vigilant about what ramps I can and cannot take in the car. I approach and depart ramps at 45 degrees. Regardless, even if you scrape the front lip, it's a replaceable piece, $180 I believe (before paint and install). I like that there is that sacrificial lip on the bottom, so you don't destroy your $1000 front bumper cover.

I will say that our 987 Cayman (base) with 20'' wheels DID scrape our driveway ramp when not exited at a 45 degree angle or too quickly. Standard suspension. The 991 with SD kit seems similar in clearance. Just gotta know and anticipate your terrain, I guess.

Poll missing the response:

My 991 has PASM and I have no clearance issues and don't wish I had SPASM.

SDaddy

Thanks. The first choice response was meant to reflect your experience.

I have a 50th with SPASM and others have said you need to know your angles and anticipate curbs at gas stations and such. For sure you have to be mindful so it is not forget and drive. That said this car is no where near as sensitive to scraps and approach angles as my 996GT3 was. So go for it as long as you remain a thinking man behind the wheel.
