Default c2S vs GTS SPASM

If you opt for sports PASM in a C2S and the GTS (whis is standard I assume) are they lowered the same 10mm? It just seems the GTS tire gap looks lower then a C2S in some pics. I was looking at a friend's GTS but didn't have a S to compare.

GTS comes with SPASM, C2S SPASM is optional. Same option on both cars, so the ride height on a SPASM-equipped C2S is the same as a GTS.

The height should be the same, only the damping rate is different from S to GTS as discussed on another topic (same as Turbo with Sport PASM).

Thanks.,.....it's just when I look at the ground clearance on the front bumper as well at the front tire gaps.....the GTS seems a lot lower then just 10mm.... Some kind of optical illusion? It literally has turbo suspension I thought

Just to clarify, the GTS standard Sport-PASM is the same as the turbo Sport-PASM suspension, not the base turbo PASM.

The optional non-Sport PASM on the GTS is the same as the Carrera base PASM.

The optional base (non-Sport) PASM on the GTS is the same as the Carrera base PASM.

So the conclusion is C2S With SPASM is still gonna be a hair higher then a GTS

No. The GTS has helper springs in the rear lent from the turbo, but that's it. They have no impact on ride height.

I don’t believe we can make that conclusion yet.

On the Porsche models page you can click on "Technical Specs" on each model and it will list ground clearance and also PASM vs PASM Sport. The S comes with regular PASM standard (and PASM Sport 10mm drop is optional) which lists PASM clearance at 4.9" and the 911T and GTS with PASM Sport list ground clearance at 4.5" (a 10mm drop standard, but on the S there's an optional 10mm ride height increase). So keep in mind that if you are looking cars at a cars & coffee, you need to know which suspension each car has.
