PASM is standard. It's just not lowered 10mm.

- GT Sport Steering wheel (heated depending on where you live)
- Full black/tan leather interior (depending on how lux you want to be)
- exclusive design taillights (very nice look)
- going with 4-way Sports Seats Plus for big savings. (depends on who else is driving your car, but I see 18-way as overkill)
- Ditch rear-axle steering
- Consider some other wheel choices (although the base wheel is very nice)
- Porsche crest on headrest
- If a daily driver and lots of city driving, consider InnoDrive
- Premium package with Remote Park Assist (again, if daily driver)
- moonroof/sunroof

- GT Sport Steering wheel (heated depending on where you live) - some people don't like the GT wheel because it is beefier in spots and obscured more of the outer parts of the display. I also don't care for the little erector set screws in it. But I did order the regular heated wheel which is nice.
- Full black/tan leather interior (depending on how lux you want to be) - agreed that the full leather interior is the way to go. Don't get the base interior if you can.
- exclusive design taillights (very nice look) - this is personal preference obviously. I like the red light bars, but may consider switching my upper taillight to clear and leaving the bar in red.
- going with 4-way Sports Seats Plus for big savings. (depends on who else is driving your car, but I see 18-way as overkill) - the 18 way gives you bolster adjustment that the 4-way Plus doesn't and mirror memory to go with the seat memory. But I didn't think you could get 18 way seats with the base leather. I certainly wouldn't spend all that on those seats but not get full leather interior.
- Ditch rear-axle steering - this is a 50/50 option. half the people here will tell you it is a must, half will tell you not to bother. You need to figure that out.
- Consider some other wheel choices (although the base wheel is very nice) - the classics are a great fairly low cost option.
- Porsche crest on headrest - definitely a nice touch. I have this on my 997 and ordered it on my 992 and it looks great.
- If a daily driver and lots of city driving, consider InnoDrive - no opinion.
- Premium package with Remote Park Assist (again, if daily driver) - if you want all the things in the package. Personally I didn't need power folding mirrors, PDLS+ (PDLS is great as it is) or Surround View or LCA.
- moonroof/sunroof - I don't care for how this changes the look of the roof. but some people really want a sunroof.

Gorgeous spec. Congrats. Get what you want and don’t worry what other people here tell you you should get/not get. They aren’t paying for the car. Just a question - the dealer confirmed they have an allocation for you, right? I only ask because allocations are pretty low around the country.

A couple of other options you might want to consider:
- GT Sport Steering wheel (heated depending on where you live)
- Full black/tan leather interior (depending on how lux you want to be)
- exclusive design taillights (very nice look)
- going with 4-way Sports Seats Plus for big savings. (depends on who else is driving your car, but I see 18-way as overkill)
- Ditch rear-axle steering
- Consider some other wheel choices (although the base wheel is very nice)
- Porsche crest on headrest
- If a daily driver and lots of city driving, consider InnoDrive
- Premium package with Remote Park Assist (again, if daily driver)
- moonroof/sunroof
Some things to think about.

The wait for the car to arrive is going to be long enough as it is; no need to make it complicated and angst ridden as well.
Congrats to the OP on the allocation and car.

The GT steering wheel is thicker, but smaller in diameter, is that correct? Or does the thicker wheel gobble up any reduction in diameter, so all you end up with is the same sized wheel with a thicker wrap?
How are the roads where you live? Taking out that 10mm of suspension travel is going to give a harsher overall ride in the car, so hopefully you live in a place with nice smooth roads.
