Just purchased a 2019 GT3, its been lowered need help with factory ride height
First... Wholly $H1T what a car !! We have owned many Porsche through the years and just sold a 2007 911 Turbo with 38k miles to help fund the purchase... Great car, but man, the GT3 is on another level ! The sound is intoxicating with the RYFT Exhaust, The PDK etc. It is a special car for sure.
It's a 19 GT3 and it appears to have been lowered significantly. Can anyone assist with factory ride height? I spent a couple hours searching last night and found a posted document with how the factory measures the height off the bottom of the car and what those specs are for the RS but was not able to land the specs on the 991.2 GT3.
Would anyone be willing to measure their fender lip to the center of the wheel and or to the ground for front and rear of a 991.2 GT3 at factory ride height? If so, it would be greatly appreciated!
We plan to autocross the car, so I may play with the height a small bit once I know where the car started, but at this time we do not have a baseline to work with.

You should have options given your location to find a shop that could adjust ride height / alignment. I just went through this on my 16 RS which has "way out of spec". I utilized my local Porsche dealership who set it back to spec. Do some searching and you will find opinions vary on set up. Beautiful car!

Thanks for the reply. I do all my suspension setup and alignment work, so just need the measurements to put it back where it needs to be.

Might just be me, but I think the lowered ride height looks great
Also, looks like it came with an RS lip?

i checked the obsessed garage video library and there are some numbers shared in the video. Will send you a pic of my sheet.
Mine was low like yours. Threat of rub everywhere. I like where it is now.

Thank you ! I'll see if I can find that video. I agree with others, it looks incredible but want to make sure the car works as well as possible... and dont want to bottom out for obvious reasons!

Thanks for the congrats... and the measurements @Gasman85 and @amsmike ! Looks like your rear measurements are quite close with a .125" difference and the front is off by approx .25"
My car currently sits at 26.375" front both right and left and in the rear 27" right and just under 27 on the left which is probably due to an uneven surface, so not as far off as I expected.

Here is my sheet. Not sure if pre alignment is measured before or after ride height.
16 RS
Floor to fender arch
27 3/16 front
28 1/2 rear
How low it was:

Thank you, I appreciate it! I suppose slightly different being an RS but a good data point, especially with the alignment data.

RS is different than GT3, RS has taller rear tire.
991.2 GT3 (not RS) :
Front 104(+/-2mm)
Rear 251(+/-2mm) USA or 245(+/-2mm) RoW.
