Default Moving up to 991.2 GTS

New to the site and will be moving on from my Panamera 4 to a GTS with MT. With the car having the PASM option and being 20 mm lower, do others order the front axle lift option?

Build code for car is : PJUWBW39

Seen other posts about the Guards Red instrument dials being too much on the car, most people go black?

Your build is similar to mine, and I thought all gauges red was too much, so I am doing the SC dial only and leaving the instrument dials black. I think it will be gorgeous!

I went with GR dials and SC - Most people that see them in the flesh feel it gives the car a "special" look, more so if you have a black interior.



sorry about the photo quality - also, the dials go black when the lights are on and its dark (the car is GR)

I also have RY dials in my RY GTS - works there too at least IMHO

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be getting the FAL and most likely the Guards Red gauges since I'll also have a black interior

On my GTS, I have the GTS Interior package, which makes the center dial (tach) red but leaves the others black which I feel is a perfect balance.

I've got the lift on my 991.2 GTS. It's definitely come in handy, and works as advertised. But just like others have mentioned you've got to remember to use it. I've already scrapped the front of my car pretty good at least 3 times now.

Another nice feature to it, is you can engage while driving around 35mph or below (i.e. as you approach). And also, it will auto-lower once you drive over 35mph.

Very nice build, and it shares some major features and detail features of my build (yet to lock), such as the model designation delete on the doors. Well done!

I don't think you are ordering the 20mm lower suspension. That's the SPASM, which your car isn't showing on the build.

Chrck our the suspension selection in mynworking configuration: PJFTWLG2.

Either way, I think FAL is a good idea. Definitely if you opt for the lower suspicion as you refine your build.

I forgot to mention I also got the FAL and I'm glad I did. I've used it on a few occasions (my local gas station has a steep transition). After having it on my Panamera Turbo it's second nature to me to use it.

Thanks for the feedback on the build - I'll check the SPASM on it.

I have this and it looks awesome, expensive but makes the interior special and exotic.
