49-300581 is the part number for Standard PASM cars with FAL
49-320657 is the part number for Sport PASM cars with FAL
49-303940 is the part number for both Standard and Sprot PASM cars without FAL
It does not matter in which model 992.1 you are installing the suspension, excluding the GT cars of course because they are double wishbone front and rear.
Now, the funny thing is that I do not think there is any difference between the first two suspensions. From what I can tell, the shocks and springs are exactly the same for 49-300581 & 49-320657 and the rear shocks/springs are the same for all three part numbers.
Do you need wheel spacers if you install these as is it a must have to avoid rubbing or is it a personal preference for style?

has these for the lowest ive seen according to your message cutlass476 it does not matter if they are "turbo" or "Carrera" ones?
If they break in, does it require a realignment after 500 or 1 thousand or so miles?
I am not using spacers with my EVO SEs. Theres plenty of clearance. If you are on OEM wheels, youll want spacers just to enhance the look.
anyone know what is the highest height i can set on this? Meaning can I keep stock height or it will drop like .5 or .8?
If you have FAL, that version has one set height for the front that drops it like 25mm or 1 inch. However the non-FAL version of the BIlstein EVO coilovers has a good adjustment range and you can set the front very close to stock SPASM and the rear can be easily set to stock height. Here are pictures of my lowered car and the front and rear spring perches showing how much thread is left to raise the car. There is a ton of space to raise the rear and I can raise the front end by about 5/8" which would put it close to stock height as my car is lowered about 3/4" lower than stock SPASM in the front and 5/8" in rear. So theoretically you should be able to set them at 1/8" to 1/4" lower than stock in front and stock height in rear:
Current height lowered 3/4" F and 5/8" rear:
Front suspension perch setting. You can raise this perch about 5/8" which would place it 1/8" below stock SPASM:
Rear spring perch setting. Note the massive amount of threads above and below the spring perch. You can easily raise the rear up to stock height or higher:

Thank you for the reply! It means a lot! This is definitely what I was hoping for!
I was hoping I could avoid the spacers as the track rims and tires I use are 315/30 20 and 255/35/20 so on the track they should look fine.
For my other sets of rims, if they will look a bit tucked but as long as it is not terrible I will keep it that way!

I very much like the stock gt3 Hight, so having FAL and getting to get just about that low is perfect!
