FAL on 992 worthless...
#17
I'll make this short. 991.2 to 992 have totally different approach angle and clearance. Brake ducts, which were 80% of the scraping on the 991.2 are now on the control arms of the 992 and don't raise anymore. Biggest issue is that when you lift the front, you now scrape the rear fins on the diffuser.

My 991.1 w aero and SPASM had a painted front lip that dealer Xpelled. Nightmare amount of work to not look like Cr*p
997.1 GT3 had large black lip that was easily changed, stillI cringed every time without FAL - no driveway was safe. People would stop driving by and laugh at your $$ car grinding away on aprons.
I have a Touring so lower front is painted - but not that small lip
FAL is a must for my sanity.

It is basic physics. You lift the front, the rear behind a pivot point (rear tires) will lower.
I remember when my GT3RS was being offloaded from the private enclosed trailer, the driver would not raise the FAL and said the rear diffuser will not survive if he did (speaking from experience).

Is the FAL tied into the GPS?

Daily driving is something else where none of this applies and is not practical. The diffuser on the new GT3 is massive and hangs much lower and further back. If I have to guess, pricing will be around $800-1000 given the prior gen’s diffuser is $600 but smaller.

This issue is not unique to 992.
My 991.2 would scrape the rear diffuser when FAL was engaged at times.
so I would use the lift to get the chin over the curb and then immediately lower it back down to prevent dragging the rear underside.
