Default Sports Design Package

Does anyone know if the new Sports Design Package lowers the ground clearance?

Update request. Does anyone have any info on the front height ( how much lower) with Sport Design? Have asked a few dealers no one seems to have any info.

The configurator does mention "significantly reduced ground clearance" in the SD details if I remember correctly.

I think that's because the "nose" sits a little further forward, not becuase the car sits lower. In other words, overhang.

They actually changed the language to say,”reduces approach angles”. So I didn’t know if that meant it was not as much of a problem(clearance)as on the 991.2 or did they just change the wording from significantly to reduces. I have ordered the Car without the Sport Design but would like to add it. I did order the Front Lift. No one is able to tell me how high that bottom piece of the SD Design is.

IIRC, that was the same language they used with the early 991s too. With FAL, I think you'll be just fine. GT# owners seem just fine, and they are for sure (at least 10-20mm) lower than you.
