Default Sport design front + sport packages and scraping anyone?

Wondering who has the above - sport design + sports pack (-10mm) and no lift. Are you able to keep it clean by taking driveways/bumps slow and at an angle?

Don't wanna add the weight/cost of the front lift...

No issues in 8 months around SW London / Surrey. Speed bumps are not a problem at all but steep driveway entry/exits could be I’m sure. If I had a redo I would get FAL, but not losing any sleep over it...

It's all about the angle.... anything more than 6• and it will rub.... and it is painted, not soft and black...

There’s always out of the driveway front first and backing in up the driveway if you determine it to be an issue.

I'd hate having to even think about it.

My GT4 was very low and had a long nose. I routinely scraped the bottom of the lip, but it was black plastic and you couldn't really tell and it's easy to replace. Problem with a painted lip is that it only takes one time to ruin it. That said, the GT4 is way lower than an SD 992.

I've had NO problems with it at all and with lowered PASM. I had a lowered 991 that scraped all the time, and a 911r that I don't find much scraping at all either TBH.

I am so tempted to drop my car, but this is a DD, so I'm resisting it. 992s look so good with even a conservative drop.

Your best bet then is to spend the money on a KW HAS spring kit, you can adjust and tuck as little or much as you want. They are a GREAT offering...

I have had it for 4 or 5 hours now and have driven it over 400 ft without any scraping issues. If I was a politician that would be enough to conclude it will never be an issue. It came off the enclosed delivery trailer and straight into the garage (unfortunately rain had started). 15 minutes later we had thunder-hail so I will count my blessings on that one. I can only be sure that first gear works, the other 6 forward and reverse I have yet to try...

Yep. That's the one I've been eyeing.
