SPASM indeed. I'm a stance man and it totally satisfies.

Wheel gap and offsets look better than Carrera. Doesn't look like a drop is needed on this one.

Those iron brakes are massive - they fit the wheels nicely.

IMO...The steering column stitching really finishes out the cabin if you are doing any colour combination other than straight black.

Regarding the stock turbo brakes, the 408mm steels are just slightly smaller than the 420mm ceramics. I think they are putting the same brakes on the new GT3...

As for offsets...the Exclusive wheels (both Turbo and Turbo S) have are wider by 0.5 inches and have more aggressive offsets. I think they have beefed offsets on the 2021 carerras by 3mm too.

All in all, I think the drop is perfect and the clearance seems forgiving...which is appreciated as I didn't spec FAL. No issues with the sporty ride on first impression.

Im gonna go for rip once the she is prepped...and take some proper video.

Very nice Pad! Probably one of the first in Toronto.

I noticed your side indicators are clear, did it come that way or you switched them yourself already?

My SA surprised me with them... Installed at the dealer before delivery.

Unfortunately, stock is still orange.
