I just stuck some fingers into some wheel wells 'round here. Right at the top of the tire and straight into the well so as to "measure" "gap":
- 718T (SPASM) ~1.5 fingers
- 991.1 S (PASM) ~ 2 fingers.
- 991.1 TT (PASM) ~ 2.75 fingers.
Yours looks like it would take 3.5 to 4 fingers.
Curious. FAL was 'down?'
Curious that the 991.1 S sits ~7-10mm lower than the 991.1 TT.
Perhaps PDDC gets a bit more ride height because with the sway bar links "flacid" it can produce/tolerate/need more suspension travel?
Maybe the .2 FAL cars get a bit more default ride height than the .1s?
Dave, your knowledgebase is seriously impressive - thank you so much for sharing it with us! I think I learned more about suspension in 5 minutes than I have in 40 years...

Thanks for the thanks. I know just enough about suspension architecture/design/tuning to begin to understand how little I know.
I was just out with him this weekend, but didn't ask or notice how his fix was holding up. Might at least arrest the splits development (no pun intended? )
I probably have one of the higher mileage 991 Turbos around here... ~63K, and definitely used as intended. Plenty of scuffs on the lower lip areas, but thankfully zero splits.
Damn, probably shouldn't have said that, now I'm doomed...
I will be doing that at some point in the near future.
