Default 991.2 GTS Cabriolet ground clearance

Hi,
I just placed an order for a new build on a 991.2 GTS Cabriolet.
While i was going over the options, i noticed that we get 10mm lowered PASM (not the 20mm PASM sport as the coupe).
Talking to a few people around, they are all saying that the 20mm lowered coupe scraps everywhere and that the Front Axle Lift System is a must.
I was wondering if my build of the 991.2 GTS Cabriolet, with only the 10mm lowered and the front sport facia will require that as well as a must.

Anyone around here that can speak from first hand experience of a 991.2 GTS Cabriolet ground clearance?
My build locks on Jan 8th, so i don't have much time to decide.
I'd rather not spend the $2,500 if i can avoid it, unless it becomes impossible to get in and out of speed bums and garage entrances.

thanks,
Ben

See if above link works. I have a GTS coupe and measures 6.5 from ground to bottom of front lip without FAL. FWIW I got FAL and glad I did.

Thank you, most of the input are on the SPASM on the coupe, though my build is a cabriolet, which is 10mm higher than the coupe. Mine comes with PASM instead of SPASM, so 10mm lower rather than 20mm lower. Not sure that it would make that much of a diff, but it should be higher than most GTS posted here. The only thing in my mind that i'm uncertain of, is the sport front facia, i know for a fact that the 991.2 S with PASM doesn't scrap where i work and live, i just have to figure out the PASM + the GTS front facia.
Every time i think i'm done with the build price, i find out another item i need to add, started at 143 and i'm over 155 now ;(

Like I mentioned in the other thread you won't need it unless the roads around you are truly atrocious. My 991.2 GTS cab has yet to scrape, and I've gone head on over dips and bumps and angles that would have stopped my GT3 in its tracks. It feels like a a 4x4 compared to my previous several cars.

I have a 991.2 GTS cabriolet. No lift is needed. Will rarely scrape. I have had a lift on my GT3s and GT3 RS, but no lift needed on the GTS.

991.2 GTS Targa, no scraping in 6 months of daily driven ownership.
