I agree with Sam - I have PASM on my 991.1 GTS and the front spoiler gets scraped routinely, despite my best efforts. No FAL option in the 991.1 GTS. The quote I got for an aftermarket FAL was $10k - no thanks. I just replace the plastic spoiler every year or so. Loving life in my GT3T with the FAL. Makes a huge difference. With SPASM being 1 full cm lower than PASM, the scrape fest in my GTS would only be magnified. SPASM was not an option in my cab, anyway, but if I were spec'ing a 992, I would go with SPASM and the FAL. For Los Angeles streets, there is no way I would get a 911 without the FAL, if it is an available option.
No clue though if it's the same problem on the 992 - the 991.1 SPASM lip sticks out forward and even curves a little bit towards the ground making it tough. Love the car regardless though, I'm sure you feel the same way. Just pucker up real tight when trying to enter or exit a ramp/incline situation!

If I might add my 10p worth.... I have had 3 991.1s and 1 991.2. My first car didn't have SPASM and the other 3 did. The difference in handling is night and day and the stance is totally wrong, (IMO) without it. I think that if you want a 911 as a sports car you might be buying the wrong car if comfort is more of a priority than proper ride and compliance. For me the steering feel is far more positive with SPASM, the stance is better and the car rides better. Yes it's a harder ride than PASM but its a tiny price to pay when buying a sports car.....
Thanks for this
idk man, I have SPASM on my 911 50th (991.1) and I scrape all over the place, even trying to attack at an angle/snail pace. Since I daily drive my 911, I've even contemplated trying to raise the suspension/car, but I love the stance of it sitting 10mm lower (psychological I'm sure)... For a DD, can only speak to my experience but I probably wouldn't option it so I stress less on ramps/driveways/entryways

About to lock spec on my 992 and like many on this thread I’m not sure whether to add SPASM or not. Roads are smooth and new where I live but having owned a 997, 991.1 and 991.2 all without SPASM I’m wondering whether I should spec it or not. I used to drive them mainly in regular mode as I found sport too harsh but I’m loving the lowered stance of the SPASM as I want to get my car as close as possible to a GTS spec. Dealer doesn’t have demos with SPASM which makes it even harder to decide and sales consultant advising against it. When tested, I found the 992 with PASM too soft but I don’t want to be stuck with SPASM forever if I make the wrong choice. Thoughts?
Again, roads are mostly smooth where I live but definitely happy to have added it. No loss of comfort and big gains in handling.

my sales guy also recommended to also include PDCC with rear steering. Anyone else have the PDCC? And do you notice any difference?

my 992 order has the sports Chrono package which includes the sport PASM and I also included the front axle lift, I had it on my Panamera turbo and it came in handy.

PDCC is best for larger vehicles that need body roll management to make it feel smaller than it truly is. The 911 PASM already controls body roll extremely well. And it’s well.. a 911.. not an SUV. The PDCC is an unnecessary option to me. Just my opinion after testing both

For some buyers, that's totally great and awesome. For other buyers, it may not be what they're looking for. Matter of Taste.

That’s what I was thinking. I concentrated my order on performance instead of cosmetics which I kind of regret a little bit. Sport Chrono package, premium package, PDCC, rear steering, all those goodies. But cosmetically I went with plain black interior. I did add brushed aluminum, don’t know what that will look like and black emblems on the back to match my black wheels on Carrera white exterior.

thanks for the pics, It does look very nice.
I believe if I would’ve selected the leather trim package it would’ve included this option, am I wrong? Since I had no idea what it would like I relied on my sales rep, he did not help me on the interior unfortunately
