It's interesting that the PDK-S was not updated, or at least no mention of such updates.

Hopefully it was just a crappy video. The shifting was strange in that video, too.

Yep.
Definitely use my front axle lift all the time when driving my .1 GT3 in southern california, with the huge speed bumps and sharp deep gutters out here.
Now I'm worried that I'll be scraping the rear diffuser all the time with the .2 GT3. Not sure how to avoid damaging that?

From my limited (10 days and 1000km so far) R experience there is no way of avoiding diffuser scrapes. Fortunately the plastic vanes are cheap and easily replaced.

I guess now I'm just debating about the front lift. Its not essential in florida for trackcar, but I use it all the time for my .1 GT3 in Southern California due to the really high speed bumps out here and the steep drains and driveways.
However, if I'm going to scraping anyway due to the diffuser, and I can't raise the back of the car, I'm debating just skipping the front lift on my .2 GT3.
Do you have the front axle life on your 911R? Sounds like you thought it's still worth it on that car???

My build is complete - After building several times and the black scoops on the back of the wing, which I sort of want to hide, and no yellow stitching; I like my GT Silver build with black rims and the standard brakes with red stitching on the interior. My Wife always liked the GT Silver and I have never owned a Porsche in this color but my mind is made up. No second guessing(was stressful to get to this closure)- first world problems.

Thank you. I was hoping a 911R owner might respond.

GET THE LIFT!
Yes - have front axle lift and use it every day. Speed humps, driveways, causeways, etc. The front of the car is very low and the lift makes a huge difference. Activates and deactivates almost instantaneously. I will post some photos coming into my driveway tomorrow to highlight the difference (pitch black outside at present!)

And it only weighs 7kg.

I cannot accurately predict when the diffuser will scrape and I am not sure I hear it anyway over the sound of the engine. Compression of rear suspension coming down off a speed hump is the most likely scenario.

Go to the testbench in the microsite and click on the ear icon to hear what it actually sounds like. It does a launch which sounds cool, but it does a max revs drive by also. Sounds incredible.
