People keep asking for pictures of the ride height with SPASM, but please keep in mind, it's a whopping 1cm difference.
If you're worried about the car clearing your driveway, etc, the ride height of SPASM isn't going to make or break you.
The splitter/lip at the front of SPASM cars is even tapered to mitigate potential contact with the ground.
I have SPASM on my car and it doesn't scrape where my other cars have.
If you want the sport chassis, just do it.

If ground clearance is a concern, do avoid the Sport Design front fascia as it does reduce your approach angle more substantially than SPASM does.

Anybody else waiting to get a ride from Emden to Davisville? My 911 missed the 3rd ship in a row yesterday. Of course no urgency from the dealer or Porsche NA. Should've avoided anything 'Volkswagen' ....

Really? Couldn’t you still back out from the deal since you haven’t made a payment and received the car?

I guess I could bail ... but that would leave me without a 992 (and I don't see any alternatives). And yeah ... there's the non refundable deposit.

It would just be nice if there would be some communication. It's always 'easy' and 'no problem' until you sign the po. Being in NE Ohio literally every day counts ... lol

sidenote: saw this color/wheel combo on a 992 cab on the street this morning and it looked awesome.

Spyder RS wheels with Aventurine Green is a pretty killer combination. I am very happy with it. 👍

Taking delivery of my Aventurine Green tomorrow. I really like the RS wheels as well but went with Carrera S wheel in satin platinum for ease of cleaning.

Mine are getting ceramic coated next week. That should make them easier to clean, but yeah, there's a lot of surfaces to clean with those wheels. :P

At least the dealer has loaned me a nice Panamera hybrid whilst I wait so I can’t complain too much.
You did the Aventurine green with agave club leather, right?! Bet you cant wait.

I found out mine was completed and released from the factory this week - sounds like it might join a bit of a queue?!

Still, I can't physically pay for mine until December, so the dealer knows they need to hold it for a few weeks 😋
