Bone Stock 2017 GTS ride height?
This is low enough for me. This stock height of my 2017 GTS, DIDN'T affect stock performance. At Willow Springs track, with a 95 MPH run out of turn 9, the car and I hit 150 mph on the 1/2 mile front straight before entering the braking zone for Turn 1 at Willow Springs. Also note I had to install about 1" speed pillows to allow me to get across the horizontal crease in my driveway.
In my opinion, the 991.2 GTS is the perfect car, it needs nothing....well maybe one (1) thing. For those that want two (2) piece slotted front brake rotors and I did, the GIROdisc rotors solve that issue. I got my front GIROdisc rotors from long time RENNLIST supporter, Clark Hamerly at APEX Performance in S. Carolina: chamerly@apexperformance.net They have a huge selection of rotors, pads, you name it.
In closing, and basing my opinion on 30 years of track experience with 10 of these years in wheel to wheel Club racing, 6 + events per year, much to the chagrin of aftermarket parts suppliers, I have choose, other than the front GIROdisc rotors, TO LEAVE MY CAR ALONE. It comes delivered to be as close to perfection as I have ever experienced.

991.2 GT3-RS (not gt3)
992 GT3
GT4-RS
All three great cars 100/160 spring rate.
992 S/T proclaimed to be the greatest driver car of all time to date 100/160 spring rate.
33/108 GTS with a tooth pick front sway bar stock does not stand a chance against these cars.
I watched video on my car on track when it was stock and i was horrified at the body roll and the nose dive on braking and the nose lift on acceleration. It was down right ugly.
By all means enjoy your stock car. But stock it has been knee capped, whilst its brothers received all the goodies.
I have more suspension (Manthey Racing spec tractive), more brakes (Brembo top spec GT-R nickel plated) Hi-thermal rotors. Race Technologies RE10 pads. And I have way more power with TiAL M800 turbos and full bolt on’s.
Increased track. -4.4 Front camber and -3.5 rear.
I absolutely love driving my car. A stock one feels like a Camry in comparison. People enjoy their Camry’s, but no one is thinking a Stock anything at the track is fast. No matter how many years experience you have.
Stock cars get lapped about every 5th lap here.
People think its a flex to drive a slow car fast. I prefer driving a fast car fast. Buts thats just me. Each to their own. YMMV.
