Default 2022 992 Carrera 2 GTS front ground clearance please

I cannot find the front clearance for my incoming GTS. I did not order a lift and possibly should have. I was originally waiting for a GT4 allocation but at 12 months was offered a GTS Cab as it was looking doubtful that I’d get the GT4. Guessing someone decided not to take their GTS Cab allocation. I had decided I’d be ok with the GT4’s minimal clearance but would like to ease my mind now on the vehicle I’m getting in October. Thanks in advance.

I don't have a GTS but here's my 992 Carrera S with SPASM and sport front lip which should have similar ground clearance to your GTS. I never had any issues w/o FAL and I have since lowered the car another 3/4" with Bilstein coilovers and still don't run into issues w/o FAL. It does scrape a bit more than stock after being lowered, but I have not ripped off the black lip yet or caused any visible damage. If you keep your GTS stock height, I think you will be totally fine.

I don’t have lift on my GTS either. You can buy 5 front lips for the price of FAL.

Thank you. I’ll be fine then. That’s as much clearance as my recently sold 981S had and I only scraped hard once in three years.

Thanks. I knew the GT4 lips were inexpensive as there’s no FAL available so that’s also a relief. I put a hold on the options at $22k as it begins getting ridiculous.

Just measured my ‘22 GTS Coupe for you - 130 mm at the lowest point. I have FAL and use it every day the car is driven.

My GTS with FAS is 4-7/8" to the rubber trim piece below the front lip which is 6" off the floor.
